Deciding whether or not a walk-in tub is worth it comes down to individual needs and preferences. For older adults or people with mobility issues, the purchase may be worth it to get built-in safety features and maintain or improve hygiene levels. In certain situations, a walk-in tub can also increase the home’s value and improve physical and mental health. But there is a significant cost associated with walk-in tubs, so you may be better off to convert the tub to a walk-in shower with a seat. Talking to a bathtub professional near you and weighing your options can help you decide if a walk-in tub is worth it for your bathroom.
