A walk-in shower and a wet room both make showering easier and look wonderfully modern. The difference is in how the water is contained.
Walk-in shower
A low or flush shower tray with a fixed glass screen.
- Quick and easy to install.
- Great value.
- Keeps the rest of the bathroom floor dry.
Wet room
The whole floor is waterproofed (tanked) and slopes gently to a drain.
- Completely level, ideal for wheelchair users.
- Plenty of space to move, and for a carer to help.
- A sleek, seamless look.
How to choose
- Mobility: wheelchair users usually benefit most from a wet room.
- Room size: small bathrooms can make excellent wet rooms.
- Floor: we check how your floor can take the fall to the drain.
- Budget: we quote for both, so you can compare.
Where the change is needed because of a disability, a Disabled Facilities Grant may help. We explain both options at your free survey.
