• Bath steps are available in a variety of heights as well as modular designs for those seeking a smoother entrance into the bath.
• Bath steps generally offer a non-slip surface, rubber or high traction grip feet and an easy to clean design. They are often lightweight to allow them to be moved when needed to easily clean beneath.

• Bath steps are a popular choice for those who struggle to access the bath due to limited mobility, disabilities, those recovering from surgery and the elderly. Bath steps reduce the height users need to lift their leg over into the bath, making stepping in and out of the bath easier and safer. Bath steps are often used in combination with grab rails and grab bars for enhanced stability.
• It is important to remember a bath step is not suitable for everyone. Those with balance problems, very weak leg muscles, limited vision and those who are unable to walk unaided should not use a bath step. In these instances a hoist, bath lift, shower or wet room may be more suitable. In addition users may wish to have a carer to support them.
