The MediTub Walk-In Bathtub comes in 118 versions: sizes from 26" x 46" to 36" x 60", Biscuit or White color, 4 jet options and Left or Right drain side. Pick your options above to open the exact model, with its own price and details. The details below are for the 26" x 53", Biscuit, Soaking, Left version.
The MediTub 2653LBS is a 26" x 53" walk-in bathtub in biscuit with a non-jetted soaking basin and a left side drain. It lets a bather walk in through the door instead of climbing over a tub wall.
A walk-in tub with a door suits aging in place, an ADA bathroom remodel or any home where someone finds a standard step-over tub difficult. The 2653LBS keeps the whole bath seated: you sit down before the water goes in and stay seated through the soak, so there is no climbing, kneeling or lowering yourself to the tub floor.
A Deep, Quiet Soak With No Wiring
With the door closed, the tub fills to a 32" soaking depth from drain to overflow, so you soak sitting upright with the water around you. There are no jets, pump or blower, so the bath is quiet and still, it is safe for bath salts and aromatic oils, and the tub needs no electrical circuit.
Grab Bar, Textured Floor and a Sealed Door
Safety is built into the shell: a built-in grab bar, a slip-resistant textured floor and an ADA compliant molded seat support you on the way in and out. The door closes on an advanced GE water seal, a door drain with a check valve clears water from the door channel after each bath, and the cable-operated waste and overflow opens and closes the floor drain with a chrome turn knob inside the tub.
The tub rides on a solid stainless steel frame with 8 laser precision support points and adjustable leveling feet. It is designed for an alcove installation. Removable front access panels keep the plumbing reachable for service once the tub is installed. MediTub lists it as ADA compliant and IAPMO listed.
Fitting the 26" x 53" Footprint
Measured for the room, the MediTub 26" x 53" walk-in bathtub is 52.75" L x 26.4" W x 38" H overall. Measure on site before building the surround: jet, pump and blower positions are set at the factory and cannot be moved.
The MediTub 2653 series is offered in white or biscuit, with the drain on the left or right, and as a soaking model with no jets, an air bubble model, a whirlpool model or a dual whirlpool and air model. All of them share the same shell, seat, door and safety features, so the choice comes down to the massage you want and which side of the room the drain needs to be on.
In short, the MediTub 2653LBS brings together a 32" soak and a still, non-jetted bath in a biscuit finish with a left drain, so bathing at home stays safe and independent.
Features
Quiet, Non-Jetted Soak
With no jets, pump or blower there is nothing to run or service, just a deep, still soak that is safe for bath salts and aromatic oils.
No Electrical Circuit Needed
Because the soaking model has no motors, installation needs only the plumbing connections, with no dedicated GFCI circuit to run to the bathroom.
32" Soaking Depth
Water fills to 32" from drain to overflow, so you soak upright on the seat in water much deeper than a standard bathtub holds.
Grab Bar and Textured Floor
A built-in grab bar and a slip-resistant textured floor give you a hand hold and secure footing while you sit, stand and step out.
Sealed Door With Door Drain
The inward-swinging door closes on an advanced GE water seal, and a door drain with a check valve clears leftover water from the door channel after each bath.
Stainless Steel Frame
A solid stainless steel frame with 8 laser precision support points and adjustable leveling feet carries the tub; set level, it keeps the door seal and drain working.
Alcove Installation
It is designed for an alcove installation, in a footprint of 52.75" L x 26.4" W x 38" H.
Service Access Panels
Removable front access panels open for maintenance after installation, so plumbing stays reachable without opening the wall.

Installation & Care
Installation
Left side drain; overall 52.75" L x 26.4" W x 38" H. It is designed for an alcove installation. The tile flange is built in. The supplied 1.5" waste and overflow connects to a minimum 1.5" sanitary drain line in Schedule 40 PVC, and the door drain hose joins the main drain at about 45 degrees. The faucet is sold separately. The soaking model needs no electrical supply. Level the tub on its leveling feet and water test it before it is enclosed: fill above the highest jet, let it stand 30 minutes, and keep the motor access panel reachable. Lift the tub by its frame handles, never by the plumbing. MediTub requires installation by a licensed plumber and electrician; the installation manual is in Resources.
Care
Wipe the biscuit shell with mild soap, warm water and a soft cloth, and rinse it; avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders and harsh chemical cleaners, which scour and dull the finish. Do not lean on the door or use it for support, since its alignment keeps the seal watertight. MediTub recommends a bath no hotter than 102°F.
