Changing your bathroom is an important and big decision. You want it to last and not just offer a temporary fix. A bathroom designed, built and installed for you by Bathing Solutions should last you for the rest of your life; so it’s your Forever Bathroom.

The transformation can be as simple or as complete as you wish. Choose from an

industry-best range of easy-access showers, wet room installations and walk-in baths. Complemented by our superb, matching sanitary ware, wall panels, flooring and accessories. Your forever bathroom will be stylish, safe and practical – and exactly tailored to your needs, taste, and most important of all, your budget.

Microshieldbuilt-in protection that reduces bacterial growth by over 99%. Microshield will not wash off or wear away (only available on the Princess shower pod).

Easy cleangrout-free for low maintenance.

Our showers and walk-in baths can fit where your bath is now, or, if practical, can be placed to make even more of your bathroom transformation.

Cleaning tiles and messy grout can be a nightmare. That’s why we use special wall boards; it makes cleaning simple and easy.

All our showers offer a choice of comfortable and sturdy fold-up seats: sitting down to shower is even more relaxing.

Safe and secure – Feeling safe at bath time is very important. That’s why we incorporate as standard many special features to give you peace of mind.

Getting in or out of the bath is the number 1 problem. So our showers have very low thresholds to step over, making access as easy as possible.

Choose from a variety of shower door sizes, styles and features (like special hinged splash guards) to fully personalise your new bathroom.

• Quadrant shaped showers can be fitted into small corners where space is very limited.

• Sliding doors open up to provide access that’s easy and comfortable.

• Extended versions of corner showers are ideal to fit in the space where a bath used to be.

• Ultra-low shower trays minimise the risk of tripping.

• Wall boards instead of wall tiles make cleaning simple and speedy.

• Space-saving corner showers often are ideal solutions when creating a new en-suite, for example.

The stylish easy-access shower

Our old shower over the bath suited us for a few years but as time went by and as our medical conditions worsened, we were finding it difficult to get in and out. We wouldn’t be without our new shower, it’s absolutely beautiful and we can walk in and out with confidence.

The CosyWarm seat features a dual safety cut out so you can’t leave it on by accident.

Imagine relaxing in your walk-in bath while thousands of tiny bubbles gently massage away your aches and pains. Our spatherapy system helps you relax whilst at the same time relieving the pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, rheumatism, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure, muscle cramps and stress.

Echo is a sound therapy using music and sounds to create a relaxing environmentto bathe in. Sounds can help to relax muscles and mind, inducing mental and physical well-being in individuals.

water spills and no help needed – it’s that simple.

A walk-in bath is still the choice of many of our customers. Designed to make bath time safe, comfortable and easy, they offer the pleasure of a long, hot soak but with the security of having a door in the side of the bath so getting in and out is safe and above all stress-free.

Q Do you supply and install everything?

A Yes we provide a complete supply and installation service.

Q Can you simply replace our old bath with a modern easy-access shower?

A Yes, we offer what is probably the most extensive range of showers designed for people who are experiencing difficulty using a regular bath or shower.

Q My bathroom is small and has an unusual shape. Can you help?

A Yes, we will be pleased to arrange for one of our advisors to assess the practicality of installing one of our easy-access products. Of course this service is free and without obligation.

Q How long does it take to install?

A A simple shower or bath replacement can take as little as one day. Depending on the work required, it may take longer, but rest assured that you will be informed if this is the case.

Q What qualifications do your installers have?

A All our installation teams have undergone individual assessment by Bathing Solutions to ensure that they will install your new purchase to the highest standards.

Q Is Bathing Solutions properly qualified for electrical installation work?

A Yes we are fully compliant and all electrical work is certificated to part “P” regulations.

Q How much mess and disruption will I experience?

A Very little. Our installer will put down dust sheets to protect your home and take every care to respect your property. We will also ensure that the old bathroom equipment and any rubbish is removed.

Q Will I be left without toilet facilities?

A We always minimise the time you are left without a usable toilet. In the vast majority of installations this is limited to just a few hours.

Q How long will it take between me placing an order and the installation starting?

A When you place your order, our advisor will provide you with a forecast installation timescale.

A Yes, we provide a comprehensive guarantee on all our products and installation work.
