Best 2-Person Walk-In Tubs
Walk-in bathtubs are similar to regular tubs, but they have seats and doors that allow you to enter and exit without stepping over a wall. Two-person walk-in tubs, also called companion tubs, are slightly larger, providing space for more than one person. These tubs are ideal for older adults who want to have more room for bathing, couples who enjoy bathing together and people with limited mobility who need assistance cleaning themselves.

2-person walk-in tub costs
Consider installation costs when determining the cost of a two-person walk-in tub
Walk-in bathtubs can be quite expensive, and two-person tubs can be even more so. Basic two-person tubs cost at least $2,000. Models that are larger or come with more luxury features, like therapeutic jets and heated seats, are typically more expensive. High-end models might cost as much as $20,000, though you can realistically expect to pay about half of that.
When choosing a walk-in companion tub, it’s essential to consider the cost of both the basin and the installation. Installation prices can range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on where you live and the complexity of the installation. More expensive tubs do not usually cost more to install than cheaper ones. However, you can expect to pay more for installation if you need more extensive work done in your bathroom.
Is a 2-person walk-in tub worth it?
While they may be pricey, two-person walk-in tubs are an excellent option for older adults and people with limited mobility who need assistance bathing. These bathtubs have doors, low step-in entries and enough room for two people to sit comfortably. Be sure to look for a model that has safety and comfort features that fit your or your loved one’s requirements.
