This bathroom aid prevents submerging in the bath, converting your standard size bath to one that is suitable for your everyday washing tasks. Shower boards have greater width/depth than bath boards providing a greater area of support whilst sitting under a shower, whereas bath boards are narrower to provide more room if you wish to transfer down onto a bath seat.
