For safe, low-step bathing, for yourself or someone you love

Most people searching for a walk-in bath or walk-in shower need one thing: safe, low-step access. A UDOOR® door gives you exactly that, fitted into your existing bath in a day, at a fraction of the cost, and you keep both your bath and your shower.

Find your situation

For a parent or partner Most of our calls come from a son or a daughter. Not from the person who will use the bath. That tells you something about how these conversations start, and about how carefully they need to be handled. Read more → For carers Bathing is the task carers ask about most. A door fitted into the bath the person already owns removes the lift over the rim. No refit, no waiting list, and the bathroom still looks like their bathroom. Read more → For occupational therapists A DFG-ready adaptation that keeps the client's own bath. A watertight door or open frame cut into the existing bath in one day. Quoted from photos, no survey visit, referral-ready for DFG minor and major adaptations. Read more → For dog owners Washing a dog should not mean lifting one. A door in the side of your existing bath means an older, heavier or arthritic dog can walk in on the level instead of being lifted over the rim. Read more → For plumbers and fitters You meet the customer who cannot manage their bath. We fit the door. Plumbers and bathroom fitters see the problem before anyone else does. If a full conversion is more than the customer wants to spend, refer them to us and get paid for it. Read more → After a hip or knee replacement Bathing safely after a hip or knee replacement. After a hip or knee replacement, climbing in and out of a traditional high-sided bath is difficult and carries a fall risk, so surgeons usually recommend showering or using aids while you recover.

There is no single best way to make a bathroom safer, only the one that fits your needs, your bathroom and your budget. Read more →
