Level Access Showers in Edinburgh

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 Edinburgh households choose this

Edinburgh's tenements, colonies and post-war semis throw up every awkward bathroom layout going — narrow stairs, soil pipes in the wrong place, listed-style features to work around. We cover the city, and can produce quotes in the format the Edinburgh Care & Repair team need for Scheme of Assistance funding.

Edinburgh is within our service area.

Frequently asked questions — Edinburgh

Edinburgh is within our service area. Call 0800 048 5566 and we'll book a free survey at a time that suits you.

Can City of Edinburgh Council fund my installation?

Possibly. Edinburgh 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.
