Abstract
A bathing device including tub surround panels useful with a conventional bath tub or with a tub configured to the special needs of the disabled. The panels have unobtrusively reinforced side panels recessed to accept a full length chair height reclining shower seat and a tilting bath tube to contain the bathing water for use when these bathing aids are necessary or desirable. When they are no longer needed, the seat and tube are easily removed and the surround panels are restored to their original appearance.
