Is There a Seat Belt for the Walk-In Tub?

Yes, there is a seat belt for the walk-in tub. Ella offers a seat belt accessory whose bracket mounts below the seat with drilled fasteners, which is the first thing to know before ordering: it cannot be installed without drilling, and adhesive such as super glue is not acceptable for a part that has to hold a bather in place. Because drilling into the tub is permanent, the team confirms the bracket location for your model before anyone drills, so the location is confirmed and does not affect your warranty. It is a job for your installer rather than a suction cup add on.

When a Seat Belt Helps

  • A bather who slides forward on the seat or needs help staying upright during the bath
  • A caregiver who needs both hands free while bathing someone
  • A hope that the belt can be glued or clamped on, which it cannot
  • A model where the bracket position has not yet been confirmed

What to Check, in Order

  1. Note your tub model and serial number. The team confirms fit and the bracket position for your specific seat before the belt is ordered or drilled.
  2. Plan for drilling. The bracket installs below the seat with drilled fasteners; there is no adhesive only option, and the tub must never be drilled or glued for any accessory without the team confirming the location, since alterations can affect coverage.
  3. Arrange for your installer to fit it. The belt is an installer job, so it is easiest to plan alongside the tub installation; if your tub is already in, ask the team what fitting it involves.
  4. Consider the companion accessories. A seat cushion held by suction cups adds grip, and the seat riser adds height; both are in swivel tray, seat riser and seat cushions.
  5. If the bather cannot get in and out with help, the belt may not be enough on its own. The HomeCare, HoistAssist and CareGiver tubs are built for caregiver bathing, and a Transfer tub with the L shape door suits a bather who can slide across from a wheelchair. See assisted bathing tubs compared and the HoistAssist and CareGiver line.

When to Open a Ticket

Ask your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 about the belt for your model, or open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support with your model and serial number, a photo of the seat from the front, and a short description of the bather's needs. The team confirms fit, the bracket location and what the installation involves before you order.

Common Questions

Can the seat belt be installed without drilling?
No. The bracket must be installed below the seat with drilled fasteners. There is no version that attaches with suction cups or clamps, so please plan for an installer to fit it.
Can I use super glue for the seat belt bracket?
No. Adhesive is not acceptable for a bracket that has to restrain a bather, and gluing or drilling the tub without the team confirming the location can affect your warranty. The belt is meant to be fastened below the seat with drilled fasteners.
How do I order the seat belt accessory?
Contact your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850, or open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support, with your tub model and serial number. The team confirms the belt fits your seat and arranges it through where you purchased.
Can an accessory I cannot use be returned?
Accessory returns follow the published shipping and returns page at ellasbubbles.com/shipping/, which covers brand new, uninstalled items in original packaging within the stated window and requires authorization before anything ships back. If you purchased through a dealer or retailer, that seller's return policy applies.
