A bath is proposed for the use of the elderly, disabled or infirm. It includes a sitting member fixedly supported so that a sitting surface thereo f is at a convenient height above floor level for a user to sit on and a raisable and lowerable substantially rigid side surround shaped to extend continuousl y around the periphery of the sitting surface. The surround is movable between a lowered position in which it is located at least substantially bel ow the sitting surface to allow the user to sit on or get off the sitting surface, and a raised position in which it surrounds and projects above the sitting surface to define therewith a bath cavity for receiving liquid. Sealing means are attached to the sitting member and on or attached to the surround for engaging each other to seal the surround to the sitting member in liquid tight manner in the raised position. A closeable and openable outlet is arranged to facilitate the exit of liquid from the bath cavity pri or to movement of the surround to the lowered position. This bath makes it possible for disabled people to bathe themselves.
