Need help finding a bathtub

Hello all, I am starting the processing of renovating our house. Its 43 years old. The most expense renovation will be the bathrooms. In the upstairs portion of the house is my mother's bathroom. She is a senior and I would like to install a walk-in bathtub. Can anyone give me any feedback on these tubs?
On the lower-level, which is called the in-law apartment, which is where I live, I have a very small bathroom. 6ft wide by 10ft. I want to change the bathtub to something that I can soak in. (I'm 5'11") And I'm on a budget. The bathtub enclosure is an alcove. Measuring the length and width of the existing tub, the space is 60" x 30". So I need a tub that will fit into that space. However, I want a tub that is at least 27" deep. Any suggestions?

    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    cant remember the name at mo but many give only 1 yr warranty on door we usually spec bath with 5 yr warranty on door seal, will try and look it up tomorrow and never had and comebacks over a number of years
  • I suspect the OP is from America, given the use of the terms 'senior' and 'bathtub'. A bathroom 6ft wide and 10ft isnt considered small in the UK - you should see mine - it's only as long at the bath itself, and less than 6ft wide.
