A number of accidents occur in the bathroom each and every year, and most are due to falling. This typically will occur when a person is entering or exiting the tub as feet are wet and surfaces are slippery. The best way to limit the chances of a fall occurring in your bathroom is to have a walk in bath installed. A walk in bath requires no climbing over the edge to get into, but rather a door that opens and closes so that you can easily walk right in.

Contrary to what some may believe, a walk in bath will not look weird or out of place. These are designed to fit nicely into your bathroom and there is a variety of colors and styles to do so. Search the web to find out more information on these safer types of tubs.
