Dog bathing at home or take to groomer

I have no idea what a dog bath for the garden looks like, so my suggestion may be no help.

Could you not use the dog bath in your bathroom, so you don't have to cart buckets of hot water about?

I can quite see that getting a labrador in and out of the bath is a heavy job, but so is carting water.

Do your dogs like being bathed - would the labrador be willing to get in and out of the bath by himself? From bath-stool to stool perhaps?

I am no longer able to put my dogs in the bath and wondered if anyone has one of those dog baths for the garden? Now the weather is warmer it would be possible to do this outside. I would have to carry buckets of hot water and fill up with hose to right temperature. A bit of a palava. The alternative is to take them to a dog groomer which might be expensive and don't know how they would react to this. They are an elderly Jack Russel and a Labrador. I would be grateful for any kind suggestions.
