SB Design and Build can help you with your kitchen remodel and bathroom needs, including the installation of a walk-in tub. Walk-in tubs offer several advantages, but there are also some drawbacks to consider.
Pros of a Walk-In Tub A walk-in tub is designed to provide a safer and more convenient bathing experience for the elderly or individuals with disabilities. It contains handrails, a seat, anti-scald valves, and non-slip flooring to prevent slips and falls. It also reduces the amount of time and construction needed to add features. Additionally, it can withstand the amount of water a traditional tub can and provides great bath depth for a more relaxing bath experience. Hydrotherapy jets offer massage to relax muscles, providing therapeutic benefits.
Cons of a Walk-In Tub While a walk-in tub has several advantages, there are also some drawbacks to consider. The installation of a walk-in tub can be pricey. Additionally, it cannot be pre-filled before getting in and must be emptied before getting out. It takes time to adjust the temperature of the water, and there is a potential risk of flooding your bathroom if the door is not properly closed or if a seal fails.

ProTip Takeaway: If you are an aging adult or someone with physical limitations, a walk-in shower from SB Design and Build may be an ideal option for your home.
If you already have a shower in your home, sticking with this layout could save you the additional work and expenses involved in installing a walk-in bathtub. However, if you enjoy soaking in the tub or need it for therapeutic reasons, SB Design and Build can install a walk-in tub as part of a well-planned bathroom renovation.
ProTip Takeaway: Having a walk-in shower might make adding a walk-in bathtub unnecessary.
Consider the space you have in your bathroom before deciding on a bathtub or shower. For smaller bathrooms, a walk-in shower would be a better option as it frees up space that would otherwise be occupied by a bathtub, limiting the room for other activities.
