4 Questions You Should Ask Before a Walk-In Tub Installation
Walk-in tubs require an installation process and features that are different from traditional baths. That said, there are particulars that you need to know before installing a walk-in tub.
In this post, Total Bath Systems LuxStone™ of Connecticut lists a few essential questions that you should ask bathroom renovation companies before starting a walk-in tub installation.
Does a Walk-In Tub Fit My Needs and My Home?
Make sure that this type of bathtub suits your personal and home requirements. Try to be as specific as you can when defining your accessibility needs. This will enable your contractor to find the right solution for you. Additionally, you have to consider the capacity of your home as well. Walk-in tubs generally are the same size as traditional bathtubs. However, the door opening can be a challenge for bathrooms with limited space.
How Many Safety Handrails Are Included?
Handrails are typically included in a walk-in tub’s design. These are meant to help secure you as you enter and sit in the bath. Depending on bathroom remodeling contractors, walk-in tubs have varying numbers of handrails. Ensure that there are enough handrails in the walk-in tub, and they are positioned in a way that allows you to safely and securely use your walk-in tub.
Can the Controls Be Easily Reached?
Make sure the bath’s controls are easily within reach while you’re sitting in the bath. If they’re too far from you or they’re positioned in an awkward angle, this would certainly affect how you would use the bath.
Are Slip-Resistant Surfaces Going to Be Used for the Floor?
Slip-resistant surfaces are an important feature for any bath. These help minimize falls and injuries, ensuring your safety while using the tub.

Customer Reviews
Chuck was a very good salesman explained everything clearly and very helpful.
Brandon was very knowledgeable, professional and made the process very easy to get our new bathroom installation setup. I highly recommend using him.
To be fair I did not have an installation done - strictly because I won’t decide under pressure - the option was to save almost 5k by committing immediately at the time of consultation (I still had 2 other vendors coming the same day to consult). But 5 stars for Brandon- he was on top of his game!
Brandon was great during our consultation- very clear and friendly, provided honest feedback, and he never pressured us into buying anything.
Walter was the most professional representative ever. His knowledge and presentation was exceptional. He was extremely courteous and responsive to all our questions. Highly recommended!
