Everything You Need to Know
Buying a walk-in bath is a big decision. Here are honest answers to the common technical and financial questions we receive.
Purchasing & Installation
In most cases, Odyssey Baths customers are exempt from paying VAT. You qualify for 0% VAT if the bath is purchased for someone with a chronic illness or mobility restriction (e.g., arthritis, heart condition).
You do not need to be registered disabled or provide a doctor's letter. You simply sign a self-declaration form at checkout. Contact us if you are unsure about your eligibility.
Yes, our models are specifically designed to replace standard UK bathtubs.
- We offer standard lengths of 1500mm and 1700mm.
- The Carnelian model is 1675mm, making it perfect for replacing a 1700mm bath without needing to re-tile the walls.
- For smaller spaces, we have compact deep soakers ranging from 900mm to 1045mm.
Safety & Maintenance
Safety is our number one priority. All Odyssey models feature:
- Low Threshold Entry: Minimizing the risk of tripping.
- Anti-slip Surface: Integrated into the floor of the bath.
- Built-in Seating: Ergonomic seats and grab rails for maximum stability and support.
Our baths are designed for easy maintenance. They are crafted from high-quality gel coat, a non-porous material that is resistant to stains, mold, and mildew.
On specific sit-in models like the Affinity or Maestro, the door can be removed in seconds, allowing for effortless cleaning of the entire tub.
Performance & Warranty
We use technology to ensure the fastest possible exit. Most of our models feature Twin Waste Technology (two waste outlets), which allows water to drain significantly faster than a standard bath.
This minimizes the waiting time so you don't get cold while the bath empties.
We are confident in our quality and offer comprehensive support:
- Lifetime Warranty on the watertight Door Seal.
- 5-6 Years Warranty on the bath shell (depending on model).
- 1 Year Warranty on electronics, spa systems, and lighting.
