The seat has two sitting surfaces (36a, 37a) on opposite sides of a forwardly open space (38). In order to prevent faeces from the person sitting on the seat from ending up in the tub, and prevent showering water when showering the abdomen of said person to gather in the tub and/or flow out on the floor, the space (38) may receive a basin (42), which is removable from the space, for collecting faeces from said person (41), and communicates with an output (50) which may be opened to permit discharge of showering water flowing down through the space from the tub (1) when said tub is in its upwardly inclined position (A) and the abdomal parts of a person sitting on the sitting surfaces are showered by means of the shower (64).
