When it comes to creating an inclusive and stylish bathroom, a Level Access Shower is the ultimate choice. Engineered for seamless accessibility, these showers provide a barrier-free entry, making them ideal for individuals with limited mobility, including the elderly or those with disabilities.
Accessible Luxury Showers for Comfort and Safety
The Perfect Blend of Safety and Style
Incorporating a shower tray that sits flush with the bathroom floor, the Level Access Shower guarantees a hazard-free bathing experience. The elimination of conventional barriers ensures a safer entry and exit, particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility challenges.
Water Management for Safety and Practicality
The innovative design of these showers directs water towards a central drain, preventing pooling and ensuring a clean and dry bathroom environment. This not only enhances safety but also contributes to the practicality of your bathroom design, seamlessly integrating functionality and aesthetics.

FAQs
We’ve installed level access showers in hundreds of homes across the width and breadth of the UK. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions we hear from our customers:
What Is a Level Access Shower?
A level access shower, as the term implies, is a shower system designed with accessibility and safety at its core. The defining feature is the shower tray, which is installed flush with the floor, ensuring a smooth, barrier-free entry and exit.
The key factor that classifies a shower as level access is having a lip of 10mm or less. This minimal lip effectively contains the water within the space of the shower area without presenting an obstacle to the user. A level access shower significantly reduces the risk of slips, trips, and falls. It is an ideal solution for individuals with limited mobility or those seeking a safer, more accessible bathroom design.
What Does ‘Level Access’ Mean?
‘Level access’ implies a design approach that eliminates any form of physical barrier, making an area easily accessible for all users. In the context of shower design, ‘level access’ refers to a shower tray that is installed at the same level as the floor (or close enough to the floor where accessibility isn’t impaired).
This design element not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also significantly reduces the risk of trips or falls, especially for individuals with limited mobility. The primary aim of a level access design is to foster inclusivity, convenience, and safety in bathroom design, thereby offering a superior and worry-free showering experience for every user.
Who Are Level Access Mobility Showers Made For?
Level access showers are specifically designed to cater to a wide range of users who may have specific needs or preferences when it comes to their showering and bathing experience. They are an ideal choice for individuals with limited mobility, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, or those who use mobility aids. These showers provide an effortless, safe, and comfortable showering experience, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing independence.
What’s the Difference Between a Level Access Shower and a Wet Room?
A level access shower and a wet room may seem similar at first glance, but they have distinct characteristics. A level access shower typically consists of a designated shower area with a small lip of 10mm or less, which contains the water in the shower area. A wet room, on the other hand, is a fully waterproofed or ‘tanked’ room with a floor area that gently slopes towards a drain. This allows the entire room to serve as the showering area.
A wet room is indeed a level access showering solution, but it provides a more open and spacious feel. However, it may require more extensive structural work to install. The choice between the two ultimately depends on your personal needs, preferences, and the physical layout of your bathroom.
How Much Do Level Access Showers Cost?
The cost of a level access shower can vary greatly, depending on a number of factors. These include the size and layout of your bathroom, the complexity of the installation, the type of fixtures and fittings you choose, and the quality of the materials used. However, keep in mind that this range is merely an estimate and the actual cost could be lower or higher.
At EA Mobility, we pride ourselves on providing excellent long-term value for money. We offer a free, no-obligation quotation service, where one of our experienced surveyors will visit your home, discuss your specific needs, and provide a personalised quote. This ensures you know exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden surprises. We also offer a range of finance options to spread the cost out into affordable monthly payments.
How Safe Are Level Access Showers?
Safety is the paramount feature of a level access shower. The absence of a raised shower tray reduces the risk of slips and falls, one of the most common bathroom accidents, plus many level access showers incorporate non-slip safety flooring for an even safer experience.
Handrails and grab bars can be installed to provide support and stability during use, or a shower seat can be added for increased comfort and safety, allowing users to sit down while showering if they wish. Finally, the layout and design of level access showers ensure that all controls, such as taps and temperature adjustments, are within easy reach. These safety considerations make level access showers a safe choice for individuals of all mobility levels.
Is It Difficult to Install a Level Access Shower?
The installation of a level access shower is a precise process, but it doesn’t have to be an intrusive one. EA Mobility is a fully competent installer and our team will carry out the task with utmost professionalism, ensuring minimal disturbance to your everyday routine. We will do as much forward planning as possible to ensure the onsite installation goes smoothly, keeping you informed at every step of the way.
The process begins with a careful removal of your existing bathroom fixtures if necessary. We then prepare the area for the new shower, which includes any required plumbing and electrical work. The shower tray is installed level with the floor, followed by the fitting of the shower screen, if required, and finally the fixtures and fittings.
Throughout the process, we maintain a clean working environment and aim to complete the job swiftly and efficiently to cause minimal disruption to your routine. We understand that your home is your sanctuary, and we do our utmost to respect this, causing minimal inconvenience to you.
