Q. Could you tell me how is the bath lift secured to the bath, does it need to be screwed on, will it damage the bath in anyway?
A. No bath lifts are screwed to the bath. They do not affect the bath in any way.

Q. My husband and I need a bath lift but I have a concern. He is around 6 foot 5 inchs tall and does not fit in the bath as it is would this cause an issue if he used a bath lift. Im not sure we may need a new bath?
A. Bath lifts do take up some space in the bath, so yes, his access would be further restricted unless you went for a Relaxa belt style lift (see www.practicalbathing.co.uk)

Q. I need to get a bath lift for my dad. Do I need his height and weight to fit him for a specific bath lift or does one size fit all? Cheers
A. Bath lifts are not tailored to specific customers. There are maximum lifting weights, so check this if your Dad is a large gentleman. It’s a good idea to try before buying to make sure your Dad is comfortable with using the lift. A range of lifts can be seen and tried at Practical Bathing’s demonstration area in Egham, Surrey (www.practicalbathing.co.uk).

Q. The bath lift seems to be the answer to my bathing problems, but I can’t go out to buy it. Can it be shipped to my door and what about installation??
A. The Bellavita bath lift can be shipped directly to you at home. It does not require installation as it is self assembly (very simple) and battery powered.
Take a look at www.practicalbathing.co.uk for details and price which includes delivery.

Q. I am buying a bath lift for my mother. She is elderly and not too independent. What if something goes wrong while she is using it is there some kind of alarm or alert device on them?
A. If your mother is likely to require assistance then you should provide her with an alarm device or a mobile telephone to have near to hand. Bath lifts do not feature alarms. Most bath lifts will not permit their use if there is insufficient battery to safely lift the bather back up. The Bellavita or Relaxa are very good options, see www.practicalbathing.co.uk for details

Q. What are bathlifts like to clean? Will my bath lift acquire soap scum like implements in the shower do? If so, how often do I have to clean it and can you recommend a piece of equipment that that requirement the least amount of effort to be cleaned. I sound lazy but I detest cleaning the bath!!! Thank You
A. This will depend of course on which bath lift you choose, but all items within a bath or shower will require cleaning. The frequencly of cleaning will depend on the frequency of use and the soaps used. A brush is probably the best thing to use, and the type will depend on what you are cleaning.

Q. My husband recent became disabled and needs a bath lift. Can I take out the bath lift after he uses it and put it back when I am finished bathing? Just looking for advice on what type would be best for our situation??
Mary
A. Hi Mary, A bath lift such as the Bellavita is a very lightweight bath lift which can be lifted out after bathing. Alternatively you may wish to look at the Relaxa belt style bath lift which can be retracted leaving the bath free for other users. Much will depend on your husband’s capabilities. See www.practicalbathing.co.uk for more information on these lifts.

Q. Just how many brands of bath lifts are there and which one is right for me? Is there a particular make or model you would recommend? Thank for your help Linda
A. There is probably more than 20 different bath lifts but they fall into 3 styles, belt style, battery operated seat with back and the bubble type which inflates through a compressor. They all do a different job as the belt and bubble will get you to base of the bath and the seat with a back will leave you 2″ from the bottom but be safer as it is more stable. prices start at £349 for the Bellavita seat with a back to £475 for the bubble ( bath buddy ) up to £795 + fitting for the Relaxa bath lift. All are available from Practical Bathing go to www.practicalbathing .co.uk

Q. Could you give me details on how long it would usually take for the bath lift to be delivered and installed on?
A. Most bath lifts will be delivered within 3 days, some do not need installation as they just stick to the bottom with suckers. The wall mounted belt style take about 2 hours to fit.
