The cost of a step-in shower depends on whether you are simply buying a shower tray or purchasing a complete walk-in shower renovation and installation service. Depending on the quality, shower trays can cost between £100-£700, whereas a complete shower renovation can cost several thousand pounds. At Absolute Mobility, we provide a professional and respectful installation service when you purchase accessories as part of a complete bathroom transformation.

A step-in shower features a raised shower tray, typically with a step-up height of around 60mm (6 cm) or higher. These showers can be installed using existing bath or shower waste connections, offering a less disruptive alternative to level-access showers. They are an ideal solution for spaces where floor modifications aren’t possible, such as flats or multi-storey buildings, and are suited to individuals with enough mobility to step over a low ledge.

Low-level showers are ideal for those who can manage a small step of around 30-40mm, offering a safer and more comfortable shower experience. In contrast, level-access showers provide complete level access, making them suitable for wheelchair users or anyone who needs barrier-free entry. Step-in showers, with a tray height above 60mm, are suited to individuals with enough mobility to step over a higher edge and are a practical solution for flats or multi-storey buildings where floor modification is not feasible.
