Introducing the Molly Bather: belt bath lift design and easy tub access
A great alternative to a walk-in tub at a fraction of the cost
Many Vancouver homeowners consider a walk-in tub when stepping over the tub rim feels precarious. The Molly Bather offers an elegant, affordable alternative that keeps your existing tub intact and eliminates the cold waiting periods.
Get into already warm water
With Molly Bather, you fill the tub first with warm water and bubbles before getting in. A walk-in tub requires you to step inside and sit while the tub fills up around you, leaving you chilly.
No waiting for water to drain
When finished, you lift back up and step out immediately. In a walk-in tub with a sealed door, you must sit shivering and wait for all the bathwater to drain completely before opening the door.
Fraction of the cost
Avoid high five-figure plumbing bills, tile demolition, and weeks of bathroom construction. Molly Bather mounts cleanly to your existing bathtub and wall structure at a fraction of the expense.
Molly Bather Bath Lift
Installation normally $500 CAD, can vary with your bathroom
Confirmed during your free in-home assessment based on your tub and wall layout.
Designed for comfort, dignity, and ease of use
Crafted from marine-grade aluminium and stainless steel to provide years of dependable, whisper-quiet support in wet environments.
Full Tub Depth & Length
Unlike bulky rigid plastic bath seats that leave you sitting high in shallow water, the reinforced belt lowers you to the very floor of the tub for a complete, comforting soak.
Rechargeable Battery Pack
Provides approximately 20 baths per single charge and includes a dedicated plug-in charger. Operates safely on low voltage with zero mains voltage wires near water.
Light-Touch Handset
Ergonomically designed controls with large, soft-press buttons specifically shaped for seniors and individuals with arthritis or reduced hand dexterity.
Detachable Belt for Household
The lift belt quickly unclips from the EZ-Rail, allowing other family members or housemates to shower or bathe normally without any obstruction.
Soft-Padded Transfer Stool
Sit comfortably on the cushioned transfer stool outside the tub, then gently slide across into the centre of the tub without lifting your legs over slippery rims.
Custom Bathroom Adaptation
Engineered for straightforward fitting. Custom-engineered solutions accommodate underfloor heating, window sills, stud walls, and corner or non-standard tub geometries.
Molly Bather system features: easy-press handset, secure wall bracket, rechargeable power pack, and smooth transfer seat with sturdy rail support.
Optional Extender Rail
The optional extender rail attaches securely to either side of the standard EZ-Rail, providing an extended forward handhold. This extra reach is particularly helpful for individuals with arthritic shoulders or reduced upper-body flexibility when sliding across.
