Key detail

What is the ShowerBuddy SB1?

The ShowerBuddy SB1 is an adjustable shower transfer system designed to move the user into the shower over hobs or floor-level changes, without requiring permanent bathroom modification.

A GIF that shows the ShowerBuddy SB1 next to a raised shower base. The SB1 rolling base is connected to the bridge and shower base and slid into the shower. The bridge is then disconnected and the chair on the shower base is then rotated 360 degrees.

It was presented as particularly useful for renters or for people wanting to keep the bathroom largely as it is.

What to know

What are the SB2 and SB2t?

The ShowerBuddy SB2 and SB2t are designed for shower-over-bath setups. They allow a user to transfer into a standard bathtub for showering without major modification work.

What are the SB2 and SB2t?
A GIF that shows the ShowerBuddy SB2t in a white bathroom, with a white bathtub. The Shower Chair arms are raised and lowered, the bridge is inbetween the chair and bath and the bath base is in the bathtub. The GIF then shows the shower chair being connected to the bridge and slid into the bathtub in a tilted position.

The SB2t includes a tilt function, which can improve comfort for the user and assist carers during transfers.
