January is National Bath Safety Month

January 6, 2023

It’s been estimated by the CDC that approximately 250,000 individuals suffer injuries from falls in the bathroom each year, and safe to assume that a strong percentage of these take place while entering and exiting the bathtub. With January being National Bath Safety Month, we thought that this would be a fitting time to remind people of the importance of exercising caution before, during, and after enjoying a bath.

As one of Western New York’s most popular installers of bath tubs and walk-in baths, Wonder Showers and Bathrooms wanted to provide some tips on how to help prevent slips, falls and other accidental when entering and existing the tub.

Have grab bars professionally installed if you have mobility concerns
Something as simple as a bathmat or anti slip decal can help provide increased stability
Consider having a Walk-in Bath installed for added convenience
Always take your time when entering and exiting from your bath tub
Clean your tub with materials that do not leave a slippery surface when dry
Never be afraid to ask for assistance if entering and existing becomes difficult

As many homeowners continue to discover, installing safety features or replacing an old, outdated bathtub with a new KOHLER® tub or walk-in bath is one of the smartest things you can do to prevent slips and falls during bath time. Wonder Windows, Showers & Baths is a trusted installer of bathrooms, and we look forward to showing you the many ways in which they can improve your comfort, safety and peace of mind.

“We decided to replace our tub/shower with a walk-in shower. We contacted 2 companies and Wonder Showers price matched with what we wanted. We were pleased with the communication and love the finished product. The installers went beyond our expectations and kept us assured through the whole process. I highly recommend this company”

“Windows are very nice, competitively priced, and installed efficiently with care. Austin and Austin are great installers- thoughtful, pretty quick and polite.”

Maureen P.

“From start to finish everyone on the team has been excellent. Harrison in sales, Brianca in the office and Ben & Shane for install. Ben and Shane went above and beyond to make the bathroom look great and eased my bride’s trepidations. Even went as far as putting up beadboard behind the vanity to clean it up. Would recommend to everyone.”

“I’m so happy with our new bathroom! Wonder communicated with us throughout the process so we knew what to except. The work ended up taking about 3 and a half days instead of the initially planned 3 days, but the guys working on it did a great job.”

Ashley R.

“We have used Wonder Windows to replace all of our windows and have had great experiences. The windows are top-notch quality. From selecting the windows with Tom Garman, having the window space carefully measured by Steve Klaver, and working with Bill Cue to install the windows, the experience has been phenomenal. A great team with a wonderful product.”

“GREAT SERVICE! From the moment that I walked into the showroom, the visit to my house, the presentation of options and the AWESOME DELIVERY of everything from the plan. The young men that completed the SHOWER and FLOOR installation were GREAT! On time daily and superb work to the finish.”

“We had an issue with a window that would not close and lock properly. Steve from Batavia came out and fixed it extremely quickly. Very courteous was not upset because he had to be here. Just did a great job very personable. It’s nice to know if I have another issue there will be someone that will take care of that promptly for me”
