Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a walk-in shower cost?
Our walk-in showers start from as little as £3,495 fully installed depending on the size, specification, and any additional features required. We provide a free home survey and detailed quotation so you know exactly what’s included.
How low can a shower tray be installed?
At Safe Bathing Solutions we have extensive experience installing ultra-low-level shower trays with minimal thresholds, making access safer and easier for people with limited mobility.
Can wet rooms be installed upstairs?
Yes, wet rooms can be installed upstairs in most properties. Modern waterproofing systems and tanking membranes allow wet rooms to be created safely on upper floors while protecting the surrounding structure from water ingress.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within 2-5 days, depending on the scope of work. We always aim to minimise disruption and keep your bathroom usable whenever possible.
Do you cover my area?
We cover Liverpool, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Wirral, North Wales, and surrounding North West areas. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, simply contact us.
Can a walk-in shower be a direct replacement for my bath?
Yes. A bath-to-shower conversion is one of our most popular services. We can remove your existing bath and replace it with a safe, accessible walk-in shower that is easier to use and maintain.
Do you provide free quotations?
Yes, we offer free home surveys and no-obligation quotations with honest, professional advice and no pressure sales tactics.
What is the lead time for installation?
Lead times vary depending on demand and product availability, but we can usually schedule installations within a few weeks of accepting your quotation.
Are walk-in showers suitable for elderly users?
Yes. Walk-in showers are designed to improve accessibility and reduce the risk of slips and falls. They can be fitted with grab rails, fold-down seats, anti-slip flooring and easy-to-use shower controls.
What is the difference between a wet room and a walk in shower?
A walk-in shower typically includes a shower tray and enclosure, whereas a wet room features a fully waterproofed floor with level access throughout the bathroom. Both can provide excellent accessibility depending on your requirements.
Can you install grab rails and shower seats?
Absolutely. We can supply and install a range of mobility aids including grab rails, fold-down shower seats, support rails, and other accessibility features to help make bathing safer and more comfortable.
Do you remove my old bathroom?
Yes. Our service includes the removal and responsible disposal of your existing bath, shower, tiles, and bathroom fixtures where required.
Are your shower trays slip-resistant?
Yes. We install high-quality shower trays and flooring solutions designed with safety in mind, helping to reduce the risk of slips in wet areas.
Can you install a walk-in bath?
Yes. We supply and install a range of walk-in baths designed for people who prefer bathing but require easier and safer access than a conventional bath can provide.
Do I need planning permission for a new bathroom?
In most cases, no planning permission is required for bathroom adaptations or renovations within your home.
Are your bathrooms covered by a guarantee?
Yes. We provide guarantees on our workmanship and the products we install, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
Can you help customers with disabilities or reduced mobility?
Yes. We specialise in accessible bathroom solutions and work closely with customers to create safe, practical, and comfortable bathing environments tailored to their individual needs.
Will my bathroom be left clean and tidy?
Absolutely. We take pride in our workmanship and always leave your home as clean and tidy as possible once the installation is complete.
Do you offer advice on the best solution for my needs?
Yes. Every customer is different. During our free home survey, we’ll discuss your current and future requirements and recommend the most suitable bathing solution for your home and budget.
Are mobility bathrooms and walk-in showers VAT exempt?
Customers with a qualifying disability or chronic illness may be able to claim VAT relief on certain mobility bathroom adaptations, including walk-in showers, wet rooms, walk-in baths, grab rails, and accessible bathroom installations. This can result in a significant saving on the overall cost of the project.
Safe Bathing Solutions can provide guidance on the VAT exemption process and supply the necessary declaration forms where applicable. Eligibility is determined in accordance with HMRC regulations.
