Accessible Bathing option for your Existing Bathtub.

ACCESSIBLE BATHING OPTION FOR YOUR EXISTING BATHTUB: DOOR KIT AND SEAT

The seniors’ population in B.C. is projected to double in the next 30 years. At the same time, B.C. seniors are living longer, healthier lives, and want to remain independent as long as possible.

But as seniors age, their health needs can change and I have found that a lot of seniors have difficulties getting in and out of a regular bath tub. Today, seniors are asking for more choice with accessible bathroom.

Until recently, most people had just two options when they needed an accessible bathroom:
• Convert their existing tub to shower.
• Or install a walk-in tub.

The price range for these conversions usually ranges from $6,000 to $9,000 to convert a tub to (wheelchair accessible) barrier-free shower; and $12,000 to $15,000 to purchase & installed a walk-in tub.

It's been said that necessity is the mother of invention. And with the advancement in technology, there is a more cost-effective way to convert an existing bathtub into a walk-in tub.

D.T. DESIGN is pleased to present another accessible bathing Option. We can convert an existing bathtub into a walk-in tub with a Door Insert Kit. This door insert kit is designed to give users an accessible bathing experience without the need to replace an existing bathtub. We also have a safety seat that allows the user to bathe or shower in their existing bathtub while comfortably and safely seated.

Our company can convert an existing bathtub into a walk-in tub using the door insert kit and the safety seat all for $2000.

With this new innovative method, and the low price tag, more seniors and people with limited mobility can afford an accessible bathroom. It allows people with limited mobility to bathe or shower by their own, maintaining their independence, and dignity.
