✅ VAT Relief & Disabled Facilities Grants

Walk-in showers for individuals with long-term illness or disability may qualify for 0% VAT, saving you 20% off product and installation.

Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG)

Available across:

  • England (up to £30,000)
  • Wales (£36,000)
  • Northern Ireland (£25,000)

Eligibility is means-tested and requires an occupational therapist assessment. In Scotland, check with your local Health and Social Care Partnership.

Hi there grants wording along the lines of Grant applications can be complex and lengthy, often taking 1-2 years to process and requiring detailed eligibility and project criteria. Therefore, we are unable to support these processes and thus our services are focused on clients funding their projects personally so that we can work in a reasonable timescale to offer our clients the best service. We recommend you contact your local council for assistance.
