Ashby Bath Shortener

Detailed description

The Ashby Bath Shortener reduces the internal length of the bath by 305 mm (12 in) so a shorter person can sit comfortably without sliding forward. It secures to the foot of the bath using fitted rubber suckers that hold the unit firmly in place yet allow easy removal when needed. The profile and fit mean it can be left permanently in place without interfering with water filling or draining, so it does not need to be fitted and removed for each use. This makes the shortener a practical option for daily bathing routines.

Practical details make the unit straightforward to use. The Ashby is extremely lightweight at around 1.8 kg, which helps when placing or removing it. The surface is hygienic and simple to clean, and a contrasting colour improves visibility at the foot of the bath. It supports a maximum user weight of 190 kg (30 stone), so it suits a wide range of users while remaining a non-permanent, low-effort adaptation.
