A nice hot bath

We had an enquiry come through on our emails the yesterday asking if we could recommend any bathing products for someones auntie in Australia, as they couldn't seem to find a product over there. We offer a portable bathlift, which sits in the bath and allows the user to go up and down to get over the problem of getting into a bath. We could ship the product to Australia, but its nothing we would ideally like to do, incase of a problem, it becomes quite awkward. I am sure our engineers would love a trip to Australia to fix a bathlift, should it stop working; but financially its not something that would benefit our company!

Besides all of this, we couldn't offer our product anyway as it turns out the lady in question has a corner bath. Our bathlift, like many others on the market do not operate in a corner bath as they rely on the sides of a normal bath for stability. I did do some investigation, and struggled to find any suitable equipment for a corner bath. Not sure if anyone has overcome this problem, I would be interested to know, but the whole bathing problem seems to be heightened when a corner bath is introduced.
