Gordon Ellis Ashby Bath Shortener

Product Information

If you find it difficult to use a bath board or seat to move yourself up and down from the bottom of the bath, you may wish to try out a bath lift. This can include extensions and structural work to accommodate fixed hoists, stairlifts, downstairs bathrooms, shower units etc.

These combined function pieces of equipment provide a height-adjustable platform with sides which can be raised and lowered. Bathtub boards can be used as a practical shelf for soap and other bathroom utensils, as they stand like a small table on the edge of the bathtub. The three suction plate shortener is suitable for baths between 510 and 650mm (20 and 271/2") wide (note, bath sides must be parallel where shortener is to be secured). Their advantage is that they lower you right down to the bottom of the bath and give you the freedom to lie back and soak.

The brush has soft bristles that help to clean all over the foot whilst the pumice can remove hard skin from the heel and underside of the foot.
