walk-in tub

Step-through bathing basin

A walk-in tub is a bathtub with a watertight door that allows entry without stepping over a high rim.

Designed primarily for elderly or mobility-impaired users, walk-in tubs typically include a built-in seat, grab bars, and sometimes therapeutic features like jets.

The user enters, closes the door, then fills the tub—and must wait for it to drain before exiting.
