Opinions on having a door fitted in an existing bath.

As we get older it's not likely that climbing into a bath to have a shower is going to get easier. I had a bath board after my first knee replacement but really hated it. DH accepted the inevitable and we replaced the bath with a shower. Now we are both glad that we did.

I didn't think you could open the door with water in?

BTW I have just had my hip done and think I could soon get over the edge with a bath board with a swivel.
If you can sit up in bed ith your legs out I would think it was do-able ...and for less than £50 I think it's worth a go.

What about a bath lift? You can get the bath all ready & away you go.
With those doors you have to remember to drain before opening, believe me when I say I have flooded a few bathrooms in my time, forgetting to empty the bath first.

Thanks for the comments. Getting in the bath is a problem at the moment. I am not sure how long this will last. As I age, it is going to be a problem getting into the bath.

If this is just a temporary issue for you, what about a bath-board type or swivel seat thingy just to get in and out?

I admit the door is smarter.
Maybe fill your bath to the height he likes the water and see how long it takes to drain?

Maybe you can have a wall mounted heater of some sort whilst it happens?
Ours drains slowly it seems to me.

No, but read reviews about how cold and miserable it is waiting for them to drain.

I'd look at lifts probably instead.
