Disadvantages of a walk-in tub? Here is the honest answer
Plain answers about walk-in tubs for St. Augustine, FL homeowners who are not sure yet.
You like the idea of a walk-in tub in St. Augustine, but you have read about sitting inside while it fills and drains. That wait sounds like a real downside, and you are not sure this kind of tub is right for you. It is a fair thing to ask before you call anyone, and it has an honest answer.
The worry is real. With a walk-in tub, you get in first, and then the tub fills while you sit there. When you are done, you stay in until it drains. For some people that wait feels long. It is the downside people bring up most, and it is fair to weigh it before you decide.
What a walk-in tub takes depends on the tub size and the accessibility and wellness features you choose. Those can include grab bars, anti-slip flooring, water jets, heated air and a quick drain option. A faster drain can change how the tub feels to use every day.
