Best place to buy a walk in bath ?

Hi my elderly parents 80+ are climbing in and out of a 'normal' bath to shower and I am terrified that they will have an accident. Mum has decided that she might like a walk in bath so that she can fix a shower curtain around it and have a sit down shower.

Where can we see and buy a sit down bath from and are they difficult to fix?

TIA

    A large Shower cubicle with a lift in and out Shower stool would be a better option.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    We had quotes for this option but it would mean rearranging the complete bathroom as the shower cubcle would need 2 walls. Mum and dads nerves wouldn't stand it. If the bath was replaced everything else could stay put.

    Contact their local council sometimes you can get a grant, they might also have a list of approved contractors.
