Walk-in Showers for the Elderly in East Kilbride

Free home survey · Written quotation, no obligation

A walk-in shower is the single most popular adaptation we fit — a low-step, slip-resistant tray with grab rails and an optional fold-down seat. Your installation schedule is confirmed in the written quotation before work starts.

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.

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.

How long does a walk-in shower installation take?▾

It depends on the bathroom and the specification. Your schedule, from rip-out to handover, is set out in the written quotation before work starts.

Will I lose the use of my bathroom for the whole time?▾

Usually only for two or three of those days. We sequence the work so you have a working toilet for most of the install.
