Safe, stylish and practical solutionsWALK-IN SHOWERS

If you’re struggling to get in and out of the

bathtub, but can easily step in and out of

a shallow shower tray, a walk-in shower

could be the perfect solution. It’s

also a great way to maintain

your bathing independence

without compromising on

visual appeal. With some

installations, you can’t

even tell that the shower

space is designed to be

accessible.

With anti-slip flooring and a range of seating

options, you can enjoy a safe and

relaxing shower in comfort and privacy. Our

experienced team will help you choose the

right products for your mobility level and

design preferences, to make sure your walk

in shower meets all your needs.

Did you know that many people are

choosing to make their bath and

shower rooms accessible

earlier in life? Features such as

walk-in showers are now seen

as practical additions to the

home for people of all ages

and mobility levels. Most of our

walk-in shower trays are just

40mm or 1.5" high for maximum

accessibility.

Bespoke service and design

Low maintenance, stress-free showering solutionsLEVEL ACCESS SHOWERS

A level access shower could be the answer.

They’re ideal for people with more limited

mobility or who use a wheelchair, as the

shower area is on the same level as the rest

of your bathroom. There’s no step or shower

tray, enabling unassisted access to help you

stay independent for longer.

Options range from traditional wet rooms,

with a curtained shower area, through to

contemporary designs featuring open-

ended shower cubicles or enclosed areas

with sliding or fold-out doors. We also offer

a wide choice of free-standing and fold-

down seats, grab rails and other accessories

to make your shower experience safe and

comfortable.

There’s no need to worry about

water leaking from your level

access shower. We design our

wet rooms to drain effectively

and the waterproof flooring

covers the edge between the

wall and the floor, so everything’s

watertight. This also makes

cleaning quick and easy, helping you

maintain a hygienic environment that

promotes good health and wellbeing.

No water leaks:guaranteed!

Making your

daily shower

a lot easier...

High quality wet room installation, excellent workmanship and finish. Customer service excellent and Paul and Sam very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. Trustpilot review

Missing the freedom of getting in

and out of the shower by yourself?

Level AccessShower or Wet RoomThey’re exactly

the same thing!

We prefer to call them

‘Level access showers’ as

‘wet rooms’ sounds a bit

old-fashioned and over-

functional.

Comfort, warmth and relaxationWALK-IN BATHS

From relieving stress to helping reduce blood sugar levels1 and improve cardiovascular health2. However, using

a standard bathtub can be difficult and even

dangerous for older people and those with

limited mobility.

Replacing your old tub with a walk-in bath

means you can enjoy all the advantages of

a lovely warm soak without having to worry

about problems getting in and out. We offer

a huge choice of styles for both traditionally

shaped and ‘deep soak’ bathtubs, as well as

a range of accessories to help you stay safe

and comfortable in your new bath.

Taking a bath offers a surprising number of health and wellness...

Turn your daily bath into a hydrotherapy

experience with a walk-in spa bath. The soothing

bubbles and gentle chromatherapy lighting will

turn your bathroom into a haven of relaxation for

everyone in the family to enjoy.

Using your walk-in bath

Simply open the door and step into the bath,

closing the watertight door firmly. The entry step

is very low, and the floor of the bath is level and

anti-slip, so it’s easy to get in and out. If you’re less

mobile, we can fit a power seat to lift and lower

you into the tub, which also means you don’t

need to sit in the tub whilst it fills up or empties.

A soothing hydrotherapy

experience in your bath

Absolutely excellent company to work with. Super happy with Sam’s team for their incredible quality and service!

We do things a bit differently at Age Care Bathrooms

Your questions answered

Q. Could the water in the walk-in bath

scald me when it’s filling up?A. No. We’ll fit thermostatic mixer taps to make sure the water flows in at a safe, comfortable temperature.

Q. What’s the difference between a

wet room and a walk-in shower?A. A wet room, or level access shower, has flooring that’s all on the same level for completely unrestricted access. With a walk-in shower, you’ll need to be mobile enough to walk over a shallow step into the shower tray.

Q. My current bathroom is small.

Can I still have a mobility bathroom?A. Yes. We offer a wide range of products to suit all spaces, mobility needs and style preferences. If you’re keen to have a bathtub, deep soak baths can be ideal for smaller bathrooms. Let our expert surveyor guide you through the appropriate options.

Q. How much does a mobility bathroom cost?A. There’s no set answer to this question, as it depends on your mobility needs, design preferences and space available. Our expert advisers will take your budget into account and talk you through appropriate options.

Q. Are walk-in baths and level access

showers (wet rooms) watertight?A. Yes. The door on your walk-in bath has a completely watertight seal, which our fitter will show you how to use. For wet rooms, we use special flooring to cover the edge between the floor and the wall, and calculate the right gradient for water drainage, so your shower is no more likely to leak than a standard cubicle.

Q. Will my new mobility bathroom be easy to

clean and maintain?A. The easy answer is - Yes! All our mobility bathrooms are designed to be low maintenance, with features such as water-proof walls and ceilings that are resistant to damp and mould growth.
