In 1910 the baths reopened. The opening hours had been changed they no longer opened on Sunday mornings during the winter. The Ladies Baths were being remodelled at this time. Ladies were limited to the use of the men's baths on Wednesdays and Fridays. The Turkish Baths remained open in Waterford although they were taken over by new management in 1925. The opening of The Turkish Baths under new management was announced in The Evening News 1st June 1925, under the headline "Turkish Baths Reopen." The article continued 'Waterford Turkish Baths are now reopened under the new management of Mr Michael O'Kelly who has carried out many much-needed alterations and introduced the latest ideas in hygiene and comfort. Patrons of the Baths will find themselves as well looked after as in any similar place in Dublin. There is now no further necessity to go outside of Waterford for a good bath' The Baths finally closed their doors in Waterford in 1927
