The bath is fighting back. After years, if not decades, of being pushed out of bathrooms in favour of showers, the bath is regaining space in bathrooms around the world. It might not be used often but when it is, its benefits are really appreciated. What’s more, thanks to Vidalux, it’s becoming even easier and more affordable to fit a bath into your home.
Why baths are coming back
There are two reasons why baths are coming back. Firstly, people have started to remember why they loved them so much in the first place. Secondly, bathroom experts like Vidalux have worked hard to create baths that fit into modern bathrooms.
Why people love baths
Showers are a convenient way to get clean quickly. They can also be great if you need to be energised. What they’re not, however, is the best way to relax. There are certainly ways you can make them more relaxing. No matter what you do, however, a shower is just never going to be as relaxing as a bath. They just can’t be.
In a shower, you are pummelled with water. You can control the flow and strength of the water but you’re still going to get a pummelling. In a bath, you literally just lie back, or at least sit back, and relax.
Modern showers let you listen to music or spoken-word audio. In baths, you can listen to music or spoken-word audio if you want to. If you don’t, however, you can have utter peace. You can also read an old-fashioned, paper book. There’s no way to do that in a shower.
That’s why baths were starting to make a comeback even before COVID. Their revival was, however, limited by the fact that it was still a challenge to justify the space for them. Then Vidalux solved that problem.
Vidalux has made walk-in baths affordable and easy to install
As Andrew Ellis, founder and CEO of Vidalux explains “Walk-in baths are the perfect solution for modern bathrooms. They have the accessibility of showers and the functionality of baths. In fact, they usually have the functionality of baths and showers because most people partner them with an over-bath shower.”.
This combination of features means that people can have a combination bath and shower that they can access without having to climb over a bath rail. The obvious benefit of this is that it means the appliance can be used easily by people with mobility issues. This could mean older guests. Equally, however, it could mean younger people, if only on a temporary basis, such as when they are injured or ill.
The benefits of this are so obvious, it raises the question of why it’s taken so long for walk-in baths to go mainstream. The answer, in short, is that up until recently, they were too expensive and complicated to be attractive to most buyers. Now, however, thanks in no small part to Vidalux’s efforts, they’re available at prices regular people can afford.
A smart investment for now and the future
Mr Ellis believes that walk-in baths are eventually going to become the standard in bathrooms. As he comments “Baths and showers make different contributions to health and wellness. This means that more and more people are going to want to have both in their bathrooms. Using a walk-in bath with a high-quality over-bath shower is the obvious way to do this.”.
Not only can a walk-in bath enhance your life both now and in the future, but it may also add value to your home. According to Mr Ellis, bathrooms are one of the major selling points of a home (along with kitchens). The reason for this is that making changes to these areas takes more effort than making changes to other types of rooms. Buyers are therefore often prepared to pay a premium for a home with a great bathroom.
