Disadvantages of a walk-in tub? The honest answer
Plain answers on walk-in tubs for homeowners in Deltona, FL, before you decide.
You like the idea of a walk-in tub in your Deltona bathroom. Then you read that you sit inside while it fills, and stay seated until it drains. That is a fair worry. It is true, and it is worth thinking through before you decide.
The main downside is real. A walk-in tub has a door, so you step in first, close it, and then the tub fills. When you finish, you stay seated until the water drains. You cannot fill it while standing outside, the way you can with a regular tub. Some people find that slow. Others do not mind at all, especially if they love a long, quiet soak.
How much this matters depends on the tub and on you. Fill and drain speed differ from one model to the next, so ask about it when you compare. A quick drain option is available. Price depends on the tub size and the accessibility and wellness features you choose, such as water jets or heated air. The designer quotes it in your home, because no two bathrooms are the same.
This week, think about how you bathe today. Do you take a long bath most days, or a quick shower? If you mostly shower, a walk-in shower may suit you better, with an easy step-in and a seat. Love Your Bath sends a designer to your home who will tell you honestly which one fits. We have replaced two showers in Deltona, so a walk-in shower is not a second-best answer.
Once you pick the right fit, bathing feels safe again. With a walk-in tub, you step over a low entry, sit on the built-in seat and hold the grab bars. Our own crew handles the installation.

What people in Deltona say
"Exceptional professionals that went the extra mile to ensure I was truly happy with my new walkin tub."
"I replaced a shower that had been installed by another local company several years ago. It leaked and they would not not stand behind their warranty. The replacement showered by love your bath is far superior to the original one I think the quality is far better. They did a great job with installation and it was done at a fair price. I would highly recommend them."
"Kyle from Love Your Bath did an excellent job installing my new shower. He was very professional and super respectful person. I couldn't be happier with the job he did. Larry B."
