Walk-in Showers for the Elderly in Glasgow
Home survey · Written, itemised quotation
Make daily showering easier without climbing over a bath side. BAL fits walk-in showers from Hamilton across Lanarkshire, with entry height, controls, rails and optional seating planned around how you use the room. Suitability is checked at your home survey; a low threshold is not the same as level access. Accessible bathrooms are our specialism, and we also fit full refurbishments for homeowners with or without mobility needs.
Accessible adaptations are our specialism, and we also fit complete bathroom refurbishments for homeowners with or without mobility needs — from our Hamilton base across Greater Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
Why Glasgow households choose this
Glasgow is within our regular service area, served from our Hamilton base. For a shower adaptation, the survey checks ventilation, the position of controls and the space left when the screen and door are in use. A room without an opening window needs its existing ventilation assessed; neither room size nor the surrounding neighbourhood establishes whether a wet room is feasible. Glasgow City Council is the relevant council for Glasgow, with its funding guide linked below.

Funding through Glasgow City Council
For qualifying mandatory adaptation grants in Scottish private-sector housing, the statutory minimum is 80% of the council-approved eligible expense, or 100% where the prescribed benefit conditions apply. This is not 80% or 100% of every bathroom quotation: the council must assess need, eligibility, eligible work and approved expense. General refurbishment, chosen upgrades and excluded work are not automatically covered. Council and housing-association tenants use their landlord's adaptation route rather than assume this private-sector grant calculation applies.

What affects the cost and quotation →
What the survey in Glasgow checks
- How you or the person using the room gets in and out, and whether a seat or rails are needed
- The size and shape of the room, and where the door, WC and basin sit
- The floor build-up and drainage route, which affect the achievable entry height
- Wall construction at the intended rail or screen fixing positions

Frequently asked questions — Glasgow
How much does walk-in showers for the elderly cost in Glasgow?▾
The cost depends on your existing bathroom, the tray or layout chosen and any tiling work. Your written quotation after the home survey sets out the agreed scope and price. Check exclusions and how any changes will be agreed before work starts.
Do you cover Glasgow?▾
Glasgow is within our regular service area, served from our Hamilton base. Call 0800 048 5566 to arrange a home survey at a time that suits you.
Do you only work for elderly or reduced-mobility customers?▾
No. Accessible bathrooms are our specialism, but we also fit complete bathroom refurbishments for homeowners with or without mobility needs.
Can Glasgow City Council fund my installation?▾
Possibly. Glasgow 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?▾
Bathroom access depends on the agreed work and layout. Discuss toilet access and any alternative washing arrangements at the survey, and check the installation sequence in your written quotation.
