Product Details

Transform your bathing experience with this Ashby Bath Shortener, an innovative product designed to make baths safer and more comfortable for individuals who are shorter in height.

By reducing the internal length of the bath by 12 inches, this product ensures a secure and enjoyable bathing experience for everyone.

This bath shortener enables shorter individuals to sit comfortably in the bath, resting their feet against a solid surface, thus enhancing both safety and comfort. Equipped with four large suckers, the Bath Shortener securely attaches to the end of the bath, preventing slipping and ensuring stability. Two suction pads are fixed to the base and two to the side of the bath for added security.

It has been designed for convenience so it easy to install and remove as needed. The contrasting color enhances visibility, and its design allows easy access to the plug hole and taps, ensuring it doesn't interfere with filling or draining the bath. A cutout at the base allows water to enter, and a breather hole under the handle lets air escape, ensuring smooth water flow during bath filling and draining.

Compatibility: The Ashby Bath Shortener is ideal for baths with smooth, non-textured surfaces.

Key User Benefits

  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of slipping or sliding down in the bath, particularly beneficial for shorter individuals who may struggle with standard bath sizes.
  • Comfortable Bathing Experience: Allows users to comfortably rest their feet and enjoy their bath without the worry of slipping, making bathing a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
  • Versatile and Non-Intrusive: The design accommodates easy access to bath essentials like the plug hole and taps, and can be left in place permanently without hindering bath use.
  • A great solution for making bathing a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for those of shorter stature.
