Level Access Showers in East Kilbride

Free home survey · Written quotation, no obligation

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 East Kilbride households choose this

East Kilbride is inside our core Lanarkshire service area. The town is unusual in Scotland because so much of it was built to a plan: the new-town estates at Calderwood, Westwood, Murray and The Village share a fairly small number of bathroom layouts, typically a compact upstairs bathroom with a full-size bath along one wall and lightweight stud partitions. Those partitions are the detail that matters on an adaptation — they are easy to open up and back with timber or a plywood pattress so grab rails and a shower seat can be fixed into something solid rather than into board. Where a bath-to-shower conversion reuses the existing waste position, it is usually the least disruptive route. The bungalows and later developments around Stewartfield and the southern edge of the town more often have a ground-floor bathroom with room for a level-access shower or a wet room, and on a ground floor the drainage fall is generally easier to accommodate than on an upper timber floor. We survey the floor construction before quoting either way. Work can be arranged and paid for privately with us; if you are pursuing grant funding, East Kilbride comes under South Lanarkshire Council and we can quote in the format their team asks for.

South Lanarkshire Council's HomeImprove information states that eligible disabled adaptations follow an occupational therapy assessment, and that mandatory grant is normally 80% of approved costs, rising to 100% in some cases. Eligibility and the process depend on your circumstances and tenure — confirm the current position with the council.

Can South Lanarkshire Council fund my installation?▾

Possibly. South Lanarkshire 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.
