A walk-in bath has a low-entry, watertight door, so you can step in without climbing over the full height of a conventional bath. Choose a full-length bath or a compact seated model, with a shower included if you want one.
Walk-in baths explained
A walk-in bath has a watertight door built into the side, creating a lower opening to step through. Once the door is closed, the bath fills and drains in the usual way.
Full-length models let you recline and soak, while compact deep-soak models have a more upright built-in seat. The bath, door position, controls and any shower fittings are planned around your bathroom and how you use it.
What a walk-in bath gives you
Designed around how you bathe
We’ll help you choose the bath style, door position, controls and shower fittings that work for your room and how you want to bathe.
The closest option to a conventional bath, with a watertight door in the side and space to stretch out. Many are designed around a standard bath footprint.
A deeper, more upright bath with a built-in seat. It can suit a smaller room or anyone who prefers a supported seated position while bathing.
A shower can be included over the bath, with a handset, thermostatic controls and a screen planned around the door and how you get in and out.
Beyond the bath
Your walk-in bath can be fitted as part of a complete new bathroom. We can help with the toilet, basin, storage, support, lighting and heating—but you only change what you want to.
The toilet can stay as it is or be changed as part of the new room. Height and washing functions can make everyday use easier.
A higher seat can make sitting down and standing up easier.
Washing and drying functions can support more independent personal care.
The basin height, shape and storage can be planned around how closely you need to approach it and what you want within easy reach.
A wall-hung basin can leave clear space underneath and include useful handholds.
Wall-hung storage keeps the floor clear and everyday items close to hand.
Support rails, lighting and heating can be included where they make the finished bathroom easier and more comfortable to use.
Support rails are available in modern shapes and finishes to suit the room.
Clear lighting and useful storage can be combined above the basin.
A heated towel rail keeps towels warm and adds useful heat to the bathroom.

From your first call to the finished walk-in bath
Five clear stages, with the design, written quote and installation schedule agreed before any work begins.
Start with a phone call. Tell us what has become difficult and ask anything you need to know. If you want to take things further, we arrange a free home design visit.
Your advisor listens, measures the bathroom and talks through the walk-in bath, door position, shower options and finishes that could work for you.
You receive a clear design, an itemised written quote and an installation schedule. There is nothing to sign or decide during the visit.
The team protects your home, keeps you updated as the work progresses and leaves the work area clean and tidy at the end of each day.
We show you how the bath, door seal and controls work and walk through the finished bathroom with you. If you need help afterwards, the same team you have dealt with is just a phone call away.
While we are in your home
Your installation timetable is confirmed in your written quote before work starts.
The experience went extremely smoothly from first meeting to final clear up. The job started and finished on time. It was organised and efficient and made something I had been dreading simple.
Right from the very start Jim guided us through every step of the process. Dad is delighted with the end result and we are all confident that his bathroom is fit for purpose, now and into the future.
On first reading reviews from past customers I wondered if they could be true — there were no negative comments at all! But I too have nothing negative to say. The project went ahead with no delays and to a high standard.
Questions
The questions people ask before arranging a home visit.
All questionsYou enter through a low door and close its watertight seal before filling the bath. The door stays closed while the bath contains water and can be opened again once the water has drained below the seal.
Yes. That is the main trade-off with a walk-in bath: you enter before filling and wait inside while it drains. We will talk that through honestly at the visit, because a walk-in shower may be a better fit if waiting is uncomfortable or keeping warm is difficult.
Explore walk-in showers →Often, yes. Full-length models can replace a conventional bath, while compact deep-soak models suit smaller spaces. We measure the room, doorway and plumbing before recommending a model.
Often, yes. Full-length models usually fit a standard bath space, and compact deep-soak models are designed for rooms where floor space is limited. The advisor measures the room, the doorway and the access route at the visit before recommending a model.
Many walk-in baths can be paired with a thermostatic shower, handset and screen. The right arrangement depends on the bath shape, how you transfer in and out, and whether you want to shower seated or standing.
Many walk-in baths go into the space the old bath leaves, using much of the existing plumbing, so straightforward installations are measured in days. The expected schedule for your room is set out in the written quote before work starts.
It can when HMRC’s conditions are met: the work must be needed because of a qualifying disability or long-term condition and carried out in the person’s private home. We can explain the eligibility declaration, but qualification depends on the person and the work.
