Frequently Asked Questions — Walk-in Showers
What is a walk-in shower?
A walk-in shower is a shower area without doors or curtains, providing easy access. Our walk-in showers can include a low or ultra-low tray, which may be installed near the floor for minimal threshold entry.
Can you replace a bath with a walk-in shower?
Yes, we can easily replace a bath with a walk-in shower, as many showers are designed to fit within the same space as a standard bath.
How much does a walk-in shower cost?
The cost of a walk-in shower varies depending on factors such as the type of tray, enclosure, and shower system chosen. Average prices differ, depending on materials and customisation.
Can I have a walk-in shower in a small bathroom?
Yes, walk-in showers can be installed in small bathrooms, as they provide flexibility in layout and often use less space than traditional baths. Clear glass screens can even make the space feel larger.
Do you need a shower tray for a walk-in shower?
A shower tray helps contain water and prevents leaks, making installation easier. However, some walk-in showers can be installed directly onto a tile floor with proper waterproofing.
Are walk-in showers a good idea?
Walk-in showers are good because they offer easy accessibility for those with mobility issues and they create a modern, open feel. They are also easier to clean and maintain than traditional enclosed showers.
What are the benefits of a walk-in shower?
Walk-in showers offer enhanced accessibility and a sleek, contemporary design that can increase your home’s value. They are also space-efficient, ideal for large or small bathrooms.
Can you get a grant for a walk-in shower in the UK?
Yes, grants are available in the UK through Disabled Facilities Grants for those with mobility issues who need adaptations. Eligibility depends on household income and the applicant’s specific needs.
What’s the difference between a wet room and a walk-in shower?
A wet room is completely open and fully waterproof, while a walk-in shower typically has a glass screen and may use a shower tray to contain water. Wet rooms require more extensive waterproofing compared to walk-in showers.
Can you install a walk-in shower yourself?
Installing a walk-in shower involves plumbing and waterproofing, so hiring a professional installer is recommended to ensure it’s done safely and effectively. If not done properly, DIY installation could lead to leaks and costly repairs.
