Help getting in and out of bath

I haven't had a bath for years. I was finding the bath difficult.
I now much prefer a daily shower. Quick and easy with the added advantage of saving water.

Don't get rid of your bath if you think you may want to sell your property in the future. A friend did that and was told it could mean the difference between selling the house and not selling it. People like baths apparently.

Lily I think any time salesmen come to your home you are in for a hard sell. If no prices are advertised then there will be the inevitable initial super high price, then the call to the ‘manager’ in the ‘office’ who will offer a ‘reduced’ price but you have to agree to it there and then and pay a deposit.

I really prefer a bath but having difficulty now so will read comments with interest, but though not a shower fan think it’s the only alternative so will go somewhere like b and q to choose and get their contractors to fit.

I too got rid of my bath for a walk-in shower, it has a very long tray and no door just a flipper glass panel that prevents any splash. I’m so glad I have it.

Trouble is with the open door type bath is that you sit in it while it fills…..and then while it empties. I should imagine one could get pretty chilly while waiting!

A friend of mine would have been charged a mere £22,000 I think it was for the type with a door which opened.

My bathroom is small so could not take a bath and a separate shower- not one over the bath because I could not get in or out. I live on my own and made the decision to get rid of the bath and bought a shower that has enough space for me to fit a separate stool. The doors are bi-fold which I find to be a pain as I wanted sliding doors. Anyway, I have never looked back and I have managed very well after 3 major operations without any assistance.
