Walk-in shower alternative, without ripping out your bath
If you are looking at walk-in showers, what you are really after is a shower you can walk into, with no bath rim in the way. We give you that without ripping the bathroom out. A watertight door is fitted into the bath you already own, and it gives you the same low, step-in entry in a single day.
A walk-in shower conversion keeps the bath you already own and gives it the low, step-in entry people want a walk-in shower for. UDOOR fits a watertight door into the side of your current bath in a single day, so you keep your bathroom as it is and gain safe, step-through access without a full rip-out. Prices start from £990 for the bathtub frame version, and every conversion is tested to 20,000 open-close cycles.
Can you fit the walk-in shower alternative in one day?
Yes. Because we work with the bath you already have, there is no demolition and no re-tiling. Our engineer cuts a sealed, watertight doorway into the side of the bath and fits the UDOOR panel, usually in a single visit. You can use the shower the same day the water seal has cured. No skips, no dust sheets for a week, no bathroom out of action.
How does a bath-to-walk-in-shower conversion work?
The bath stays in place. We fit a hinged, watertight door into the side wall of the tub so you step through the opening instead of climbing over the rim. Close the door and the seal holds water like any shower tray. It is the same bath, the same plumbing, the same tiles, with a safe way in and out added.
Do you have to remove the bath?
No. That is the point of a conversion. Replacing a bath with a walk-in shower usually means ripping out the tub, re-tiling, re-plumbing and days without a usable bathroom. A UDOOR conversion keeps your bath and your bathroom, and adds the step-in access in one day.
Is a walk-in shower conversion safe and does it last?
The door is tested to 20,000 open-close cycles, which is years of daily use. We are a member of the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA), and every conversion carries a 10-year guarantee. The threshold is low and the opening is wide, so getting in and out is steady and unhurried.
How much does a walk-in shower conversion cost?
From £990 for the bathtub frame version, and from £1,490 for the full watertight bathtub door. The exact price depends on your bath and any extras such as grab rails or a seat. If you have a long-term illness or disability, you may qualify for 0% VAT relief, which we can confirm for you. There is no full-bathroom cost because there is no full-bathroom job.
Who is a walk-in shower conversion for?
Anyone who finds climbing over a bath rim difficult or unsafe. That includes people with reduced mobility, those recovering from hip or knee surgery, and anyone planning ahead to stay independent at home for longer. If a family member is starting to struggle with the bath, a conversion is often the smallest change that makes the biggest difference. That includes people recovering from a hip replacement or knee replacement, and anyone ageing in place who wants to stay independent. Our bathtub door fits into the bath you already own.
