Walk-in Showers for the Elderly in Edinburgh
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 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.
Funding through City of Edinburgh Council
Grant help is administered under Scotland's Scheme of Assistance, with Care & Repair Edinburgh typically managing applications. Eligibility and the level of any grant vary by tenure and circumstances — confirm the current rules with the council.

Frequently asked questions — Edinburgh
How much does walk-in showers for the elderly cost in Edinburgh?▾
The cost depends on your existing bathroom, the tray or layout chosen and any tiling work. We'll give you a fixed written price after the free home survey — no surprises later.
Do you cover 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.
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.
