Walk-in shower vs level-access wet room

Both can feel safer than a high-sided bath. The right choice depends on mobility needs, floor construction, and budget. We measure and advise on survey day — including whether a Disabled Facilities Grant conversation with your council is worth starting before works begin.

FAQ

Quick answers

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Burnley?+

A simpler walk-in shower conversion often lands around £2,200–£4,500 nationally; full level-access wet rooms commonly £5,500–£13,000+. ProActive accessible packages start from £3,999 with ProCore18™ included — your free survey confirms the right scope.

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a level-access wet room?+

A walk-in shower usually sits on a low tray with a small upstand. True level access has no threshold — the floor is tanked and falls to a drain — which is a bigger build and usually costs more.

Can I get 0% VAT on a mobility bathroom?+

Qualifying disability-related adaptations may be eligible for 0% VAT under HMRC rules. We explain what may apply on survey — see our VAT relief page for an overview.
