Luxury features on special needs baths

In some circumstances the bath may be used by the special needs bather and able-bodied bathers. This is true not only in a domestic home environment but also increasingly in hotels where regulations are compelling hotel owners to provide a certain number of rooms equipped for disabled bathing.

In these cases the disabled bath should come with a removable seat. The hydraulic ram can then be lowered, the seat removed and the entry point sealed with a blanking plug, this will remove all trace of the special needs equipment and allow the bath to function in a traditional way.

There is no reason why a special needs bath shouldn't be equipped with the latest in luxury bubbling spa or whirlpool systems. Whilst many manufacturers don't offer these as options some do and the extra cost involved is quite small compared to the overall cost of a special needs bath.
