Questions about the 2653
Will the Meditub 2653 fit my bathroom?
The 2653 is 53 inches long and 26 inches wide. Measure the alcove length, width and the narrowest doorway on the path to the bathroom, then send us the numbers. Extension panels close the gap in a standard 60-inch alcove, and we confirm fit before you order.
How deep is the soak in the 2653?
The tub stands 38 inches high, so water reaches the chest of a seated bather rather than the waist. If you have a 40-gallon water heater, ask us about fill times.
Can I add jets later?
No. Hydro and air systems are plumbed into the shell at the factory, so choose your therapy package when you order. Heated seat, chromatherapy and aromatherapy are chosen at the same time.
Do I have to buy installation?
No. We ship supply-only anywhere in the U.S. and Canada (free shipping to the lower 48 on many models, freight quoted for Canada) and you keep the factory warranty when the tub is installed to specification, and Meditub is a strong choice for contractors who want a proven acrylic tub at a sharp price. Or our factory-certified installers handle everything, usually in one day.

Compact 26x53 Walk In Tub With Side Entry Door
The 26x53 walk in tub is one of the most versatile and compact bathing systems we offer. It fits through many narrow doorways and halls, which can make installation easier in older homes. The tub also keeps water usage lower because of the smaller footprint, while still offering a wide internal seat that slopes from 19.5 inches up to 20.5 inches. This creates a comfortable and supportive bathing position for seniors and adults who want safe and soothing bathing at home.
This model includes an extension kit to take the length out to a full 60 inches. Many customers enjoy this added space because it creates a shelf area for soaps, towels, and personal items. The inward swinging door also helps in tighter bathrooms where extra floor space is limited.
Why Choose The 26x53 Walk In Tub
The tub is built with a high glass fiberglass shell and triple gel coat finish. It is both durable and easy to maintain long-term. The ADA compliant 17 inch seat makes sitting and standing more comfortable. There is also a slip resistant floor and a color matched grab bar for stability. These features support a more confident bathing experience for people who want to stay independent.
For homeowners with compact bathrooms, this model offers a strong balance of size, comfort, and safety. The stainless steel frame and leveling legs provide long-lasting support. The magnetic access panels make servicing easier without removing the unit. Every detail is made to improve long-term function.

Massage And Therapy Options
This compact walk in tub can be upgraded with soothing hydro massage jets, air massage jets, or a dual system that includes both. Hydro jets circulate warm water for targeted relief. Air jets create thousands of tiny bubbles that provide a gentle full body sensation. Some customers also choose PureBubbles skin therapy, which releases micro bubbles that help cleanse pores. These options can support relaxation and overall well-being. For general wellness background, you may review hydrotherapy information from a trusted non competitor source like the National Institute on Aging.
