Walk-in Showers for Elderly and Disabled People
Accessible, walk-in showers give disabled and elderly people the independence and dignity of showering alone. They’re great for anyone with restricted mobility too.

What is a Walk-In Shower?
Our walk-in showers are designed to make it easy and safe for elderly or disabled people to shower, even if you find an over-bath or a regular tray shower challenging. And they’re designed with your specific needs in mind. So, if you need a seat, slip-resistant surfaces or safety grab bars, that’s what you get.
Your shower safety is our top priority. We work with you to make sure your new mobility shower has everything you need now, and everything you’ll need in the future. Plus, we build it beautifully in your favourite style, whether that’s modern, classic or something in between.
What are the different types of walk-In showers?
Level access walk-in showers
For the best accessibility, you need level access. There’s no transition between the floor and the shower, so you can roll your wheelchair or walk straight in.
Low-level access walk-in showers
Low-level access showers have a small, even step up from the floor. They’re perfect if you’re ready to switch from an over-bath shower to a walk-in shower.

FAQs
Answers to some of the questions we get asked most often. If you can’t see the answer you need here, have a look on our FAQs Page.
What is the main safety benefit of replacing my bath with a walk-in shower?
The main benefit is the elimination of the high side wall or threshold of a traditional bath. All our walk-in showers feature either Level Access (near-flush entry) or Low Level Access (minimal step), which drastically reduces the trip hazard associated with climbing in and out of a bath. Combined with anti-slip flooring and secure grab rails, this creates a significantly safer bathing environment.
How much does a mobility walk-in shower cost to install?
The final price depends on the type of shower you choose (Level Access, Low Level, or Wet Room), the size of the room, and the fittings required. Factors that influence the cost include adjusting existing plumbing, installing specialist drainage, and your choice of wall panels or tiling. We offer a FREE No-Obligation Home Visit where our surveyor can give you a fixed, bespoke quotation.
Am I eligible for VAT relief or exemption on a small wet room installation?
Yes, if the wet room is being installed for a disabled or chronically ill person for their personal use, the installation of certain mobility adaptations—such as a level-access wet room—is usually zero-rated for VAT (0%).
This means you will not have to pay the standard 20% VAT on the labour and materials used for the essential adaptation. Our experienced surveyors will confirm your eligibility for VAT exemption and handle all the necessary paperwork during your free, no-obligation home assessment.
What is the difference between a Walk-In Shower and a Wet Room?
Both offer accessible, step-free entry, but they differ in design and waterproofing:
-
Walk-In Shower (Tray-Based): Has a low or level access tray with a dedicated drain. It typically uses a glass screen or enclosure to contain the water in a specific area.
-
Wet Room: The entire floor is fully waterproofed (tanked) and gently sloped towards a drain, meaning the entire room is the shower area.
Walk-in showers are often a less invasive, faster installation solution.
How long does the installation of a new walk-in shower typically take?
The time required varies depending on the complexity: A Low Level Access conversion is often completed in 3-4+ working days, while a full Wet Room conversion may take longer due to the required floor work and waterproofing programme. We will provide a clear timeline as part of your quotation and work efficiently to minimise disruption.
Do I need a large bathroom to install a walk-in shower?
No. Walk-in showers and wet rooms are highly efficient space savers. By removing a traditional bath, we can often transform a small, awkward space into a highly functional and modern shower room. The minimal steps and open design actually make the room feel larger, even if the physical footprint remains small.
What type of wall covering is recommended for ease of cleaning?
We highly recommend installing grout-free wall panels instead of traditional tiling. Wall panels are completely waterproof, come in a wide variety of colours and finishes, and can be easily wiped clean from top to bottom, making maintenance simple for less-abled individuals and eliminating the headache of cleaning grout.
What warranty and aftercare guarantee is provided with the installation?
We provide the assurance of our comprehensive Lifetime Installation Guarantee with every walk-in shower project. This guarantee covers the quality and standard of our workmanship for the lifetime of the products, ensuring a durable, reliable, and leak-free solution for your home.
Walk-in shower not quite what you need?
Walk-in showers are brilliant – but only if they’re right for you. There are plenty of other ways to make your bathroom accessible.
Wet Rooms
Wet rooms are fully open plan and fully waterproof. Perfect if you need maximum space.
Walk-in compact baths
Enjoy a relaxing bath even if you have a small bathroom. Fully accessible and stylish to boot.
Baths with lifts
Love to relax in the tub? A bath with a lift is a great, accessible way to keep enjoying a soak.
