Questions people ask
Can I get help paying for a walk-in shower?
If someone in the home is disabled, the council's Disabled Facilities Grant may help in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Some adaptations also qualify for 0% VAT.
How long does a bath to shower swap take?
Usually 2 to 3 days. A full wet room takes longer.
Wet room or walk-in shower?
A walk-in shower uses a low tray and a screen. A wet room has a level, waterproofed floor with no step at all, which suits wheelchairs but costs more.
