The problem is rarely the shower
For most people, the problem isn't the shower. It's the bath it sits over – the high side, the awkward climb, the moment of balancing on one leg on a wet surface.
A low level shower replaces all of that with a shallow tray and a proper place to stand, or sit. It's easier to step into, safer underfoot, and because it doesn't need the full waterproofing of a wet room, it's often the most affordable way to make a genuine difference.
How we work
The right shower starts with the right conversation.
Before we'd recommend a low level shower – or tell you honestly that you don't need one – we need to understand four things:
First
Your mobility
Your stability, your strength, your grip – and whether stepping over a low tray is comfortable for you, or already borderline.
Second
Your life
Who else uses this bathroom? Whether anyone helps you shower now, and what you want to manage on your own once we've finished.
Third
Your home
The room itself: where the bath sits now, the door, the lighting, and how you reach the bathroom at night.
Fourth
The future
A tray that suits you today may not suit you in the future. We design for your future, not just for where you are now.
We can get started quickly, but we can't do this in five minutes on the phone. It takes an in-person visit – over tea and biscuits at your kitchen table – to see what will actually work. If a low level shower is the right answer, we'll design it around you. If it isn't – if what you actually need is a wet room, or just a grab rail and better lighting – we'll tell you that instead.
What makes ours different
Designed around you, not just fitted.
Controls you can actually reach
We position the shower controls between 700 and 900mm of the seat, so you can adjust the water without standing or stretching – and so someone helping you can reach them too.
A seat that’s part of the design
A fold-down seat, positioned for the way you move – not bolted on wherever there’s a gap. If you shower seated now, or might in the future we design for it from the start.
The right screen for your situation
Full enclosures look neat, but if there’s any risk of a fall we won’t fit one – a fallen person can block a sliding door, and whoever comes to help needs to be able to reach you. We’ll recommend the screen that’s safe for you, and explain why.
Anti-slip as standard
Anti-slip tray surfaces and flooring throughout the shower area – not as an optional extra.
Before you decide
Is a low level shower right for you?
A low level shower suits you well if you can step over a shallow tray comfortably – and expect to still manage it in a couple of years' time. It makes showering safer and easier without the cost of fully waterproofing the room, which is why it's often the most cost-effective choice.
If you use a wheelchair or walking frame, or any threshold is becoming difficult, a wet room is usually the better option – it removes the step altogether. And sometimes smaller changes do most of the work on their own: a grab rail, a seat, better lighting. In our home visit, we'll work out which applies to you.

"All I can say what an amazing job they have done. Nothing was too much trouble. Charlie advised and informed us professional and charming and with the help of Chris transformed our standard bathroom into a contemporary and high spec wet room. If you looking for a job well done don’t look any further. We can highly recommend Access and Mobility Bathrooms."
