Product Information
Full details
The Vidalux Coniston 1700 is a purpose-built walk-in bath designed for individuals with reduced mobility who require a safer, more accessible bathing experience without sacrificing comfort. It offers a practical, P-shaped design with a low-entry threshold and wide door for effortless entry, making it an ideal direct replacement for standard bathroom layouts. While it significantly enhances accessibility and safety, users should note that the included handheld shower head is intended for seated use only and does not replace the utility of a traditional upright wall-mounted shower system.

FAQs
Can I use the handheld shower to shower standing up?
No, the retractable shower head and hose are designed specifically for use while seated in the bath. You will need a separate wall-mounted system for standing showers.
Does this bath fit standard UK plumbing?
Yes, the Coniston is designed to replace standard bathroom setups with minimal alterations to existing plumbing.
Is the door mechanism safe?
Yes, it uses a robust, gadget-free manual locking mechanism that is reliable and easy to operate even for those with reduced grip strength.
How many waste outlets does it have?
It features two 40mm fast-flowing copper pop-up wastes to ensure rapid drainage.
Is the base of the bath slippery?
No, the bath is equipped with a slip-resistant base to maximize safety when entering or exiting.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking around the door seal
Clean the seal and the door frame of any debris or hair. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.
Slow drainage
Check both 40mm pop-up wastes for blockages or hair clogs. Ensure the overflow connection is clear.
Difficulty operating the door lock
Ensure the bath is perfectly level. If the bath has settled, the door frame may be misaligned, requiring professional adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Coniston is designed to be straightforward, acting as an immediate replacement for standard bath configurations with minimal alterations to your existing piping. The included access panels provide the necessary clearance for plumbers to connect the dual waste systems and taps securely. For care, keep the door seal free of soap scum and mineral buildup to ensure a watertight fit over time. Always ensure the door is firmly locked before filling the bath. Note that if you require an upright showering experience, this unit must be paired with an independent, wall-mounted shower installation, as the provided handheld hose is explicitly designed for seated use.
