You may need to pay an additional fee for a custom color since most manufacturers make tubs in white and cream.

Question 7

Initial testing and suitable installation should give you a leak proof experience, however there are events where they experienced escapes, that customers report. Under suitable circumstances, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units comprise a second drain under the entrance door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. Ask if this attribute is contained. We highly recommend that you get a lifetime warranty, as it covers the seal as well as the door in the instance of a leak. Replacement seals will cost you. Some people replace the door seal on a walk in bath themselves. Also, it is vital that you take great attention of the walk in bath door when the tub is not in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping door jamb and the door seal down after each use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care as well as maintenance instructions. Also, any little set of debris or soil on the door seal or where the seal comes in contact with the door jamb can result in a modest escape through the door seal consistently wipe down the door seal.

Question 10

Many walk in bathtubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that is included with your purchased bath. The floor in the toilet has to have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the tub plus the weight of the water. Our Gainesville installer will check to ascertain if it's not, if the floor is level and otherwise, then they will use the leveling legs to correct the amount of the tub.

Make sure you get the correct dimensions for the walk in bathtub so that you do not feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Also, if you intend to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet isn't right against a wall, it is far more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet location.
