my wife wants a walk in bath tub. I wonder if they are all that. What's your experience?
Are you looking at a walk-in tub or shower?
Sharps 40 beat me to it, plus, as Bailey Boat said, who wants to sit in dirty bathwater as it drains? Yuk.Mom is 76. Dad is 78. Last year they had the contractor come in and yank the tub. Tiled the entire bathroom and where the tub was, set it up with chair, grab rails, shower heads and a shower curtain. No lip, no tub just a good drain so. She walks in, sits, showers, and can even dry off all without having to climb over a tub side or having a tub door that might leak. She's not able to use a tub at all so for her and dad, shower is it. Over all, they love it and its much safer for them. We looked at the tub with a door but backed away since there are seals that could fail making a mess.
firedawg60 Stayed at a friends beach house which had a large walk in shower with two shower heads. I thought it was great and would incorporate into a new home or retro fit if I could. What I don't live at the beach and I never remember you being at my house LOL But really took out the big unused garden tub and built custom BIG walk in shower with 2 shower heads at different heights one for short wife one for tall me. Love it
