Level Access Showers in Bathgate

A level access shower removes the step entirely — the shower floor sits flush with the bathroom floor. It's the right choice for wheelchair users, anyone who can't lift their feet reliably, and households planning ahead for changing mobility.

Why Bathgate households choose this

Bathgate and the surrounding villages — Blackburn, Whitburn, Armadale — have a lot of older bungalows and ex-council stock where the bathroom upstairs has quietly become unusable. Where there is space, a level-access shower on the ground floor can make daily washing manageable again.

Bathgate and the surrounding West Lothian towns are within our service area.

Funding through West Lothian Council

Grant help is administered under Scotland's Scheme of Assistance. Eligibility, the level of any grant and the process vary by tenure and circumstances, and an assessment of need is generally involved — confirm the current rules with the council.

Can West Lothian Council fund my installation?

Possibly. West Lothian help with adaptations through the Scheme of Assistance, and support normally follows an assessment of need — usually by an occupational therapist. Eligibility, the level of any grant and the process vary by council and by whether you own or rent, so check the position with them. Where a grant is involved we provide quotes in the format the council asks for, and you can also arrange the work with us privately instead.

Will a level access shower work on an upstairs bathroom?

Yes, in almost all cases. We assess joist depth at the survey — most suspended floors give us enough room to recess the tray cleanly.

Does the whole bathroom get wet?

No — that's a wet room. A level access shower keeps the wet area contained with a glass screen and good drainage; the rest of the room stays dry.
