Alternatives to Bathroom Modifications with ShowerBuddy

Bathroom modifications are timely, expensive, and not always suitable or possible in every scenario.

Thankfully, bathroom modifications are no longer the only option to making a bathroom accessible. Through the thoughtful and innovative design by ShowerBuddy, almost any bathroom can be made accessible with their transfer range. The ShowerBuddy Transfer Range is comprised of three different models:

  • ShowerBuddy SB1
  • ShowerBuddy SB2 – TubBuddy
  • ShowerBuddy SB2t – TubBuddy Tilt

The three models have different applications depending on the needs and requirements of the bathroom and user.

What is the ShowerBuddy SB1?

The ShowerBuddy SB1 is an innovative, adjustable shower transfer system designed to transfer the user into the shower over any hobs or changes in floor level. This is to help individuals move seamlessly from their wheelchair into the shower, without the need for permanent bathroom modifications. This product is particularly ideal for renters or those who want to maintain the aesthetic of their bathroom while ensuring it is accessible.

What is the ShowerBuddy SB2 and SB2t?

The ShowerBuddy SB2 and SB2t, also known as the TubBuddy and TubBuddy Tilt, are designed for shower-over-baths, allowing users to be safely transferred into a standard bathtub for showering without the need for expensive or permanent bathroom modifications. The SB2t model includes a tilt function, providing additional comfort for the user and ease for the caregiver during transfers. These systems are ideal for individuals who wish to keep a bathtub in their home, especially where space is limited, or for those seeking an affordable alternative to costly renovations.

The GIF then shows the shower chair being connected to the bridge and slid into the bathtub in a tilted position.
