Everything You Need to Know About Bathtub Doors

We’ve created this guide to help you understand exactly how the UDOOR bathtub door works, who it’s for, and why it could make a real difference to your daily life. If you’re considering a bathtub door, you’re not alone. Many people explore this option as a safer, more convenient alternative to stepping over the high edge of a standard bath. 

The UDOOR bathtub door is not just a practical solution, it’s an investment that can help you stay independent, safe and comfortable at home for longer.  We understand that making changes to your bathroom is a big decision, which is why we’ve put together this guide to share all the key details with you and help you make a confident, informed choice. We want you to feel completely at ease to choose the UDOOR bathtub door to bring both safety and comfort into your everyday routine.

What Is the UDOOR Bathtub Door?

The UDOOR is a specially designed door that we fit directly into your existing bath. A U-shaped section is carefully cut out of the bath, structural support is added and the UDOOR is custom fit to the bath. It is fitted with a secure, watertight seal and allows for much easier access into and out of the bath.

The UDOOR was developed over many years and is made to fit almost any type of bath, whether it’s straight, curved, or corner-shaped.

Who Is the UDOOR Recommended For?

• Older adults who find it difficult or unsafe to step over the high bath edge
  
• Anyone with reduced mobility, where everyday bathing becomes a challenge
  
• People recovering from surgery who need a gentler way to bathe while recovering
  
• Home care recipients who require safer bathing arrangements
  
• Families with young children, making bath time easier and safer
  
• Pet owners, especially those with large dogs that need regular washing
  

Why Choose a UDOOR Bathtub Door?

• Improved safety – Reduces the risk of slips or falls when entering or leaving the bath
  
• Convenience – Makes bathing easier, less tiring and more manageable day-to-day
  
• No major renovations – Installed directly into your existing bath, with no need to change your whole bathroom or install a shower cabin
  
• Cost-effective – A more affordable and less disruptive option than a full bathroom refit
  

How Is It Installed?

Installation is simple and designed to be as hassle-free for you as possible:

1. On the day, one of our fully trained and experienced UDOOR engineers arrives at your home.
   
2. They’ll work with you to choose the most suitable position for the door based on your bath and how you use it.
   
3. Nearby bathroom fittings are covered to protect them from dust.
   
4. Installation typically takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the job.
   
5. Once complete, the area is thoroughly cleaned and tidied. We also take away all waste, including the removed section of the bath, which is taken to a recycling facility.

There’s no need for an assessment beforehand, no deposit required, and payment is only taken once the job is complete.

What Types of Baths Can the UDOOR Be Installed Into?

The UDOOR can be installed into practically any bath, including enamel, cast iron, acrylic and pressed steel. It’s also compatible with most types of bath panels, whether they’re wooden, plastic, tile or marble. We have even fitted UDOORs into carpeted panels!

Your bathroom tiles won’t be disturbed, and the finished result will blend in neatly with the bath. With a UDOOR in place, you can continue using your own bath safely and confidently, without the need for a full renovation or expensive changes. It’s a simple but highly effective way to make your home safer, more accessible and more comfortable for years to come.
