Walk-In Baths with a Powered Seat

Why Consider a Powered Seat?

Lowering yourself into a full-length bath and pushing back up again can become difficult over time — whether due to reduced balance, joint pain, fatigue or reduced strength. A powered seat removes this concern entirely, gently lowering you into the water and raising you back up again at the touch of a button, so you can enjoy a proper soak in safety and comfort.

Two models from the Aquability walk-in bath range offer a powered seat as an optional extra.

Powered Seat Options Across Our Range

Up to 23 Stone Ultimate Shower Bath with optional powered seat

Ultimate Shower Bath — Optional Powered Removable Seat

The Ultimate's optional powered seat is smooth and quiet, capable of lifting up to 23 stone, and is operated with a simple touch-control handset — giving you a full soak or a seated shower in the same bath. Even works in a power cut for peace of mind.

Best Seller Simplicity walk-in bath with optional powered removable seat

Simplicity — Optional Powered Removable Seat

The Simplicity's optional powered seat lowers you safely to the bottom of the bath and back up again, using an easy-to-use remote control. Even works in a power cut for peace of mind.

The Aquabath and Mini Marvel come with a comfortable, fixed contour seat rather than a powered option — your adviser will be able to explain the benefits of each walk-in bath during your free home survey to allow you to choose the one that best suits your needs.

Benefits of a Powered Seat

  • Bathe safely and independently without needing to lower or raise yourself
  • Reduces falls risk significantly — particularly for people with balance or joint issues
  • Simple to operate — touch control or remote handset, no strength required
  • Maintains dignity and independence — no need to ask for help getting in or out
  • Lets you enjoy a full, deep soak rather than just a seated shower
  • Removable seat, so the bath still works just like a standard bath when it's not fitted

Frequently Asked Questions

Both The Ultimate Shower Bath and the best-selling Simplicity have optional, removable powered seats that lift up to 23 stone and are operated with a touch-control handset. It really depends on your requirements.

You sit on the seat above the water, then use the handset or remote control to lower yourself gently to the bottom of the bath for your soak or shower. When you're ready to get out, the same control raises you back up again.

Both The Simplicity and the Ultimate Shower Bath's powered seats are capable of lifting up to 23 stone. Your adviser can confirm the exact specification for the model you're interested in during your free home survey.

The powered seat is an optional extra on the Ultimate Shower Bath and Simplicity — both walk-in baths work perfectly well without it, however most customers order these baths with seats.

It depends how you get in and out of the bath. If lowering yourself down and pushing back up is comfortable and steady, you likely don't need one — plenty of our customers choose a bath without it. It becomes worth having once that movement feels difficult or unsteady, for example with balance issues, joint pain or after an operation. Bring it up with your adviser during the free home survey and let them know if you feel that you would benefit from a powered seat.
