Neptune Bathlift – Powered Bathing Support for Comfort, Safety, and Independence

The Neptune Bathlift is a reliable and thoughtfully engineered bathing aid designed to restore confidence, comfort, and independence for individuals who find entering and exiting the bath challenging. By combining a compact structure with smooth powered operation, the Neptune enables users to enjoy a relaxing bath experience with dignity and reassurance, all at the simple touch of a button.

At the heart of the Neptune Bathlift is its powered seat mechanism, which gently and safely lowers and raises the user in and out of the bath. The smooth, controlled movement eliminates sudden jolts, ensuring a calm and comfortable transition that is particularly beneficial for users with joint pain, reduced mobility, or balance concerns. By allowing the user to bathe at a comfortable depth, the Neptune supports personal hygiene while also helping to soothe aching muscles and joints in warm water.

One of the Neptune’s key strengths is its compact and slimline design. The bathlift is specifically engineered to fit into almost any style of bath, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of bathroom layouts. Positioned neatly at the very back of the bath, the seat provides impressive legroom and leaves ample space for safe transfers, whether the user is assisted or transferring independently. When lowered, the seat sits just 7cm from the bottom of the bath, allowing improved water immersion for a more enjoyable and therapeutic bathing experience.

Stability and safety are central to the Neptune’s design. Four large 13cm (5”) suction feet grip securely to the bath surface, helping to prevent movement during use. The contoured side flaps are shaped to avoid interference with most bath handles, ensuring unobstructed operation and added convenience. For users who require additional support or who have corner baths, optional extra-wide side flaps are available. These provide a generous transfer platform while maximising legroom, enhancing both safety and comfort during transfers.

Despite its robust construction, the Neptune Bathlift remains impressively lightweight. Weighing just 9.5kg (21lb), it can be handled with ease by carers or family members. The unit separates quickly into two lightweight sections, making fitting, removal, and storage straightforward. This compact, modular design is particularly beneficial for households where the bathlift may not be required at all times, allowing it to be stored neatly when not in use or transported between locations if needed.

Ease of use is further enhanced by the waterproof, slimline hand control. Designed with large, textured rocker switches, the handset is easy to grip and operate, even for users with limited dexterity. A clear battery level indicator light provides reassurance by showing when recharging is required, helping to avoid unexpected power loss. For additional peace of mind, the integrated ‘Stop Descent’ safety feature prevents the bathlift from lowering unless there is sufficient battery power available to raise the user back up again.

Durability and hygiene have also been carefully considered. The seat is manufactured from sturdy glass-filled polypropylene, supported by a strong, rust-proof aluminium frame. All surfaces are smooth and accessible, allowing for quick and simple cleaning of both the lift and the bath itself, making the Neptune suitable for long-term domestic use as well as professional care environments.

Overall, the Neptune Bathlift offers an excellent balance of comfort, safety, and practicality. Its compact footprint, dependable powered operation, and thoughtful safety features make it an ideal bathing solution for users seeking greater independence or carers looking for a reliable, easy-to-manage bathlift. Designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life, the Neptune transforms bathing into a safe, relaxing, and dignified experience.
