Do I need a Walk In Shower or a Wet Room?
Walk-in showers and wet rooms both offer safer, more accessible ways to shower. Walk-in showers have a small step, while wet rooms are completely level with the floor. The best choice depends on your space, mobility needs, and personal preferences.
Deciding between a walk-in shower and a wet room depends on your individual needs, bathroom layout, and how much support you want now and in the future.
Walk-in Showers are ideal if you want an easy-access, low-threshold shower with a modern look. They feature a shower tray that sits almost level with the floor, making it much easier to step in and out than a traditional shower or bath. Walk-in showers are great for people with some mobility or balance concerns who still want a contained shower space and minimal changes to the rest of the bathroom.
Wet Rooms are fully waterproofed, open-plan spaces where the shower area is level with the floor—no tray or step at all. This makes them the most accessible option, especially for wheelchair users or those with significant mobility issues. Wet rooms provide plenty of space for carers, walkers, or shower chairs if needed, and they’re very easy to keep clean.
If you’re not sure which option is right for you, our team can talk through your needs and survey your bathroom to recommend the best solution for your lifestyle and home. Both options can be designed to look stylish and modern while providing the extra safety and peace of mind you need.
