The benefits of a wet room
- Floor level access for unobstructed movement in and out offering added reassurance.
- Can be enjoyed standing or sitting down, as all of our showers come with a foldable wooden or padded shower seat.

The benefits of a Walk-in or powered bath
- All of our baths have been designed to fit the variations of a standard British home. We can provide baths that have doors on either side or even on the end.
- You can still use an overhead shower and added screen or curtain to maintain the convenience of a traditional shower.
- Our baths can offer a number of optional extras to add that touch of luxury, including Spa therapy, Chromotherapy or a CosyWarm heated seat.
- If you have limited mobility but still prefer a relaxing soak, powered seats with leg lift are available to raise and lower you into the bath in complete safety.
- Baths are available either full length so you can lie back or in more compact models, sit in, ideal where mobility problems may hinder you from fully reclining.
