An improved watertight bathtub insert having foldable members that are laminated and joined to form a safe portable and easily stored bathtub insert that can be chemically treated on the surface with an antibacterial formulation for the preservation of health. The enclosure is comprised of four upright sidewalls and a bottom platform, forming a watertight, rectangular cubicular space; having a watertight, doubly gasketed, entrance door and a drawbridge styled ramp. Each of the sidewalls is made preferably of a preformed and shaped fiberglass core, laminated between thin sheets of silicone rubber, and electronically bonded and sealed to form a unitized watertight enclosure that can be folded into a portable compact unit that is easily stored. The base platform is made preferably of rubber and has a cushioned bottom surface, that has frictional resistance and stability when the unit is inserted into a bathtub or shower stall. The rubber base also provides frictional resistance on the top surface to ensure a good frictional contact between the occupant and top surface to prevent accidental slipping. A removable hydraulic control panel extends the supply of water to the interior of the enclosure, for the convenience of the occupant. The totally integrated unit displays added safety devices, such as an adjustable, multilevel, cushioned seat, pull-down grab-bars, easy-open doors and a thermally barricaded water control panel.
