A level-access shower when you want to stay in the house

← All guides

The phrase is “we want to stay here”. The obstacle is often a bath with a high side and nothing solid to hold. A level-access shower is the alteration that makes the rest of the house still make sense.

What has to work, not just look low

  • —A floor that can fall to a waste without a step at the door
  • —A screen or detail that keeps the rest of the room usable
  • —A seat or a wall that can take one
  • —A toilet height you can live with
  • —Light you can see by, including at night

It can still be a nice room

Accessible does not mean beige plastic. The same panels, the same furniture language and a shower you can walk into. The engineering is hidden in the wall and the floor, which is where it belongs.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is a level-access shower the same as a wet room?+

A level-access shower has no step into the shower. A wet room has no tray at all and is tanked across the floor. Both can be step-free. They are detailed differently.

Do I have to make the whole room accessible?+

No. Many people start with the shower and the toilet height, in a room that still looks like their bathroom. Grab rails can wait if the wall is ready for them.

How much does a bath-to-shower conversion start from?+

Our bath-to-shower conversion package starts from £3,999, with ProCore18™ included on accessible work. The survey confirms the waste and the floor before that is treated as your price.
