Choosing your Walk In Shower or wet room

It is easy to take everyday tasks for granted until your personal mobility is reduced. With limited mobility, tasks like showering can provide much greater risk of slipping or falling. When investing in an easy-access shower, washing without discomfort will once again become accessible.
If you are unsure of which of the mobility showers is right for you, please call the customer service team to arrange a free disabled showers assessment. A trained mobility bathroom surveyor will provide a no-obligation survey and answer any questions you may have. Should you wish to upgrade more of your bathroom to aid your mobility, Handicare also has a specially selected range of walk in baths.

How much is a walk in shower?

What’s the difference between a wet room and a walk in shower?
Walk in showers are generally in a cubicle and are independent from the rest of the bathroom. Some models feature toughened safety glass around the outside of the shower and raised shower trays. Wet rooms are a popular choice for many modern bathrooms, but they normally do not include shower trays and the water instead flows directly into a drain in the floor. There are models which come with wet room screens, but the space will need to be waterproofed and will need a tiled floor and walls. Wet rooms are great disability showers as they allow wheelchair users enough space to move around as they wash.

This depends on the needs of the user and the specialist mobility bathroom surveyor can advise you on what they would recommend for your bathroom.
