A bath board is a rigid platform which bridges the width of a bath.
It uses the two bath’s sides as anchor points and allows the user to sit midway along the bath’s length, over the water.
Those with balance or strength issues may find getting in and out of the bath a difficult process - a bath board may help.
The board fits securely to the bath’s sides, creating a ‘bridge’ across it.
The user sits on the board before lifting their legs over the bath side as they swivel round on their bottom.
Most bath boards fit with clamps which sit under the board itself.
The clamps press outwards against the inside of the bath’s walls, creating a locking mechanism and holding the board in place.
It is important to check the clamps periodically in case they loosen over time.
Yes, some boards are available in different lengths, so measure with care and make sure you choose the correct one for your bath.
Bath boards do need at least an inch of flat surface on each side of the bath in order for the edges to rest safely and for the clamps to be effective.
This means that if the wall-side of the bath’s side is flush to the wall, it will be difficult to fit a bath board.
Bath boards are designed with drainage holes and non-slip sitting surfaces, reducing the chances of slipping, even when wet.
Bath boards are often used alongside other bathroom aids like wall-fitted support rails.
Typically, bath boards only work with conventional rectangular baths, so are not suitable for corner baths.
Yes, bath boards are suitable if you have a shower head positioned over your bath, rather than in a walk-in cubicle.
This makes bath boards a useful bathroom mobility aid for those who may have difficulty standing for the duration of a shower.
Only some models have this feature, so look out for it before making your choice.
A bath board with an integral handle at one end is ideal for people wanting a little extra support.
The handle protrudes upwards at one end of the board, putting it in easy reach of the user’s grasp.
Bath boards perform a fairly unique function if you want to sit high above the bath’s water.
However, if you want a lower sitting position, you might try a bath seat.
These fix to the floor of the bath and provide a raised sitting position for the user, reducing the distance of travel when getting in or out.
