Hello all, I am starting the processing of renovating our house. Its 43 years old. The most expense renovation will be the bathrooms. In the upstairs portion of the house is my mother's bathroom. She is a senior and I would like to install a walk-in bathtub. Can anyone give me any feedback on these tubs?
On the lower-level, which is called the in-law apartment, which is where I live, I have a very small bathroom. 6ft wide by 10ft. I want to change the bathtub to something that I can soak in. (I'm 5'11") And I'm on a budget. The bathtub enclosure is an alcove. Measuring the length and width of the existing tub, the space is 60" x 30". So I need a tub that will fit into that space. However, I want a tub that is at least 27" deep. Any suggestions?

bathtub

A deep tub will seldom come in anything narrower than 36", and I would be very hesitant to install a walk in tub on the second floor. They have a tendency for the door seals to leak, and even if "lifetime" warranteed, it still takes time to have it repaired.

I would avoid baths that have textured floors. I just installed a Kholer Villager and the tub looks like it's been there for 10 years. I am so totally disappointed.
