The Age Co The Age Co Mobility Walk-in Baths and Showers Range range

When it comes to a bespoke walk-in shower installation, the price will vary depending on the scale of the installation process.

When it comes to bespoke walk-in baths, the price will vary depending on the scale of the installation process and the type of model you choose. Some walk-in baths for the elderly are slightly cheaper than other models, but no matter which type of bath you choose you will be asked to pay a deposit of 50% before the manufacturing can take place. The deposit can be paid in two instalments, the first of which is payable at the point of order and is normally around £1000. The remainder of this is due after a technical survey has been carried out.

Walk in showers are generally in a cubicle and are independent from the rest of the bathroom. Some models feature toughened safety features, such as glass around the outside of the shower and raised shower trays. Wet rooms are a popular choice for many modern bathrooms, but they normally do not include shower trays; the water instead flows directly into a drain in the floor.

Some models come with wet room screens, but the space will need to be waterproofed and have a tiled floor and walls. Wet rooms serve as great disability showers, allowing wheelchair users enough space to move around as they wash.

This depends on the needs of the user, and the specialist mobility bathroom surveyor can advise you on what they would recommend for your bathroom. Every bathroom design is different, and it is vital that you buy a walk-in shower that fits in perfectly with the room.

Unlike traditional baths, disability baths are deeper, and before filling the bath, users with mobility issues need to get into the tub, make sure the door is shut and fill it with water. Before getting out of the bath, you must let the water drain away before opening the door.

Most mobility baths have either left-hand or right-hand orientation to allow you to install your easy-access bath exactly the way you want it. For more information about how our walk-in baths are designed and their different features, read our Walk-in Baths and Showers FAQs.

The easy-access baths in our range come in all shapes and sizes, from full-length baths to smaller models that are perfect for small bathrooms. The baths are designed for users with mobility issues, and they feature slip-resistant floors and instead of having to hop over the side of the bath, there are side entries and easy ways of opening the door so you can have the best bathing experience without any help. 

If you are looking to create bathrooms for a disabled person, you might decide that a walk-in shower is the best option. The price of such a project depends on varying factors, such as the difficulty of removing the existing bath and the type of walk-in shower you have chosen. It is best to arrange a home visit with one of our expert team members, and they will be able to look at your situation and assess your needs, making suggestions for your bathroom that you may find invaluable.
