Accessible bathroom: keep your independence, gain comfort
Anyone who designs their bathroom to be accessible makes a decision for more independence. High tub rims, slippery tiles, narrow cabins. Such obstacles can be cleared out of the way with the right products. In the Seniorbad range you will find everything that makes up a senior-friendly bathroom: from the sitting bathtub through the bathtub with door to the senior shower.
Trip hazards out, safety in
The bathroom is the room in which most accidents in the home happen. Low entries, non-slip surfaces and ergonomic shapes make the decisive difference. An accessible bathroom benefits not only seniors. Families with small children or people after an operation also benefit immediately.
From the sitting bathtub to the shower with a low entry
Our senior bath tubs make bathing comfort possible with a particularly low entry. The bathtub with door lets you step in without having to climb over a rim. In the sitting bathtub you bathe in a relaxed upright position. And our senior showers offer easy access with plenty of room to move. In this way an age-appropriate bathroom is created that does not look like a compromise, but like a well-thought-out design.
Material and quality inspection
Fibreglass-reinforced acrylic, real glass and hard-wearing fittings. That is standard at Seniorbad. Before a product leaves our warehouse, it is unpacked, visually inspected and tested for leaks. So you receive not unopened boxed goods, but inspected quality.

Frequently asked questions about the accessible bathroom
The cost of an accessible bathroom depends strongly on the scope of the measures. Individual adaptations such as retrofitting grab rails or a shower stool are comparatively inexpensive. Replacing an existing tub with a sitting bathtub with an entry door or a bathtub with a side door is considerably higher depending on the model and installation effort, a comprehensive conversion with several measures accordingly above that.
Tip: have an installer check the structural conditions on site beforehand. In this way the actual effort can be assessed realistically, and you avoid unexpected additional costs.
For an accessible bathroom, tubs with a side entry door are particularly suitable. A sitting bathtub with an entry door lets you bathe upright in a seated position, a bathtub with a side door offers a full-length tub with an easy entry. Both designs avoid climbing over the high tub rim.
Which variant fits depends on the available space and on your bathing habits. Compact sitting bathtubs from 100 x 78 cm often fit exactly where the old tub stood. Measure the installation area beforehand and consider the swing range of the entry door.
Several products increase safety: grab rails provide a secure hold when getting in and out, non-slip surfaces reduce the risk of falls, and a seat in the shower or tub allows washing while seated. Tubs with a side entry door avoid climbing over a high rim.
Which combination is sensible depends on your individual situation. A seat, grab rails and non-slip surfaces can also be retrofitted and require little additional space. A specialist can show you on site which solutions are possible in your floor plan.
As a guide, there should be a movement area of at least 120 x 120 cm in front of each sanitary object (washbasin, toilet, shower or tub), for the wheelchair-friendly variant 150 x 150 cm. The movement areas may overlap, which also makes a conversion possible in smaller bathrooms.
In practice, many measures can also be carried out in bathrooms under 5 square metres: a compact sitting bathtub from 100 x 78 cm or retrofitted grab rails need little additional space. A specialist planner or installer can show you on site which solutions are possible in your floor plan.
Yes, a later accessible conversion is possible in most cases, without having to change the entire room structure. A sitting bathtub with an entry door or a bathtub with a side door can in many cases replace the existing tub, provided the connections are compatible. Grab rails are mounted directly on the wall, and non-slip coatings can be applied afterwards.
For more extensive changes (for example relocating pipes or enlarging the shower area) a specialist firm should check the structural conditions beforehand. An accessible conversion is in principle possible in rented flats too, but requires the consent of the landlord.
