Disadvantages of a walk-in tub? Here is the honest answer
Straight answers on walk-in tubs for Cocoa Beach, FL, including the wait you may have read about.
You like the idea of a walk-in tub in your Cocoa Beach bathroom. Then you read that you sit inside while it fills, and again while it drains. That sounds like a long time, and you wonder if it is right for you. It is a fair worry, and it deserves a straight answer.
The biggest downside is real. The door seals shut, so you step in and sit down before any water comes in. You stay seated until the water drains out. You cannot fill the tub first and then get in, the way you would with a regular tub. Some people find that dull or chilly. A quick drain option can help with the wait, and heated air is also available. Ask about both.
Fill and drain speed is one thing to compare, but how you bathe matters more. If you mostly shower and only soak now and then, a walk-in shower with easier step-in access may suit you better. What a walk-in tub takes depends on the tub size and the accessibility and wellness features you pick, such as water jets, heated air or quick drain. Every bathroom is different, so the quote is made in your home and includes the product and the installation.
This week, write down how you bathe. Do you soak, or do you shower most days? When you compare models, ask each company how fast the tub fills and drains. When you are ready, call Love Your Bath. A designer will look at your bathroom and tell you honestly whether a walk-in tub or a walk-in shower fits. The designer builds a custom plan with options and a free quote, and you pick the colors, finishes and safety features. Two showers have been replaced in Cocoa Beach, so a shower is an easy answer to give.
If the tub is the right fit, you get a low step in, a built-in seat and grab bars, and you keep a long, warm soak.
