Walk In Showers
Walk in shower enclosures will help you create a luxury spa shower experience in your own home. These enclosures are great for anyone with a larger bathroom and the reduced step and lack of a door makes them ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
These fixed glass screens can be installed directly onto a tiled and waterproofed wetroom floor, or on top of a shower tray. Unlike a conventional cubicle with a shower door, a walk in shower also has no runners or hinges to trap dirt and grime.
Walk in showers are available in a range of different shapes and sizes to fit your bathroom and taste. For help choosing your perfect enclosure, take a look at our handy guide.

What should I consider when installing a walk in shower?
When installing a walk-in shower, it is important to consider the durability of the materials, the size and configuration of the shower, as well as the drainage system and water pressure. You should consider what safety features are necessary for the walk in shower, such as non-slip floors or grab bars. Quality fixtures should also be purchased in order to ensure a reliable and long-lasting shower. Lastly, be sure to choose a design that will fit your bathroom’s layout and match the rest of your home’s decor.

Larger walk in showers may measure up to 60 inches wide and 90 inches long.
Is a walk in shower more expensive than a standard one?
