Japanese deep bath tubs?

[catsrus]

The bungalow I'm moving to has a lovely en suite shower, but a smallish bathroom, just Loo, bath. It's "elderly" so I will be redoing it - but would like to put in a shower, not an over-bath shower as I'm not getting any younger, nor are my friends and family who will be visiting and using it - but I would like to keep the option of a bath.

I've come across these deep bath tubs, and have worked out I can create a wet room with shower, the single size deep bath, and a loo. Anyone had one of these? Would it be a nightmare getting in and out of? (little step at the side maybe?)

I desperately want one of these when we move to a house

I think that many mumsnetters will appreciate a demonstration of the bath in action...

LOL at the bath videos! They are so funny!

I hadn't spotted that video

Hoping to do the same if my move goes ahead! Seen various photos online - some people have built tiled steps which can look ok if done nicely. Others have built a sort of seat and sit down and swing legs over

Try Carron baths - we have the tiniest b’room and needed a walk-in shower plus bath for dig/grandchildren - fitted a ‘Rio’ in - deep, integral seat 👍🏿

So disappointed at the demonstration BitofFun!

I lived in Japan for a long time. There was a built in TV in my bath😂. Anyway, they were perfectly comfortable to get in and out of and to sit in.

I’m thinking about doing the same.
As I too want a bath & walk in shower.
