A Modern Walk-In Bath Installation in Hockley Heath
We were contacted by homeowners in Hockley Heath who wanted to future-proof their bathroom and make bathing easier, as stepping into a standard bath was becoming less practical.
The aim of the project was to create a safer bathing space without losing the comfort of a proper bath. As this was a third-floor bathroom in a three-storey townhouse, the finished room also needed to feel clean, modern, and well considered rather than overtly adapted.
The end result was a full bathroom renovation centred around a walk-in bath with showering capability, giving the homeowners a safer and more practical space while maintaining a high-quality, modern finish.

The Customer’s Situation
The existing bathroom no longer worked as well as it needed to. Stepping into the bath was becoming more difficult, and the homeowners wanted a solution that would make bathing safer and more manageable over the long term. At the same time, they still wanted to keep the comfort and familiarity of bathing rather than move entirely to a shower-only solution.
They were looking for a bathroom that would feel practical, future-ready, and high quality, while still fitting naturally within the home.
Our Assessment & Recommended Solution
Following a free home survey and design consultation, we recommended a full bathroom renovation built around a walk-in bath installation. The chosen bath provided safer access through a glass side door while still offering a comfortable showering area when standing. This made it a practical option for both bathing and showering, without losing the flexibility of the room.
To complete the renovation, the layout was updated with a wall-hung vanity basin, a back-to-wall toilet with concealed cistern, a thermostatic mixer shower, and a clean grey contemporary finish throughout. The bath also included a spa and chromotherapy system, adding a touch of luxury while still meeting the practical requirements of the project.
The Installation & Handover Process
1
Consultation & Planning
We began with a free home survey at the property in Hockley Heath to assess the existing bathroom layout and discuss how the room could be improved for easier bathing and long-term use. As this was a third-floor bathroom in a townhouse, the aim was to create a finished room that felt modern and high quality while also delivering the practical benefits of a walk-in bath. A clear fixed-price quotation was provided, along with an agreed installation schedule.

Walk-In Bath Installation
Over a 7-day installation, we completed a full bathroom renovation centred around a new walk-in bath. The project included a P-shaped walk-in shower bath with glass access door, integrated shower, spa system, and chromotherapy lighting. A wall-hung vanity basin, back-to-wall toilet with concealed cistern, and thermostatic mixer shower were also installed. Finished in a modern grey style, the bathroom delivers practical, accessible bathing without a clinical feel.

Handover and Aftercare
Once the installation was complete, the bathroom was thoroughly cleaned and all waste materials were removed.
We demonstrated how to use the walk-in bath, shower controls, and bath features to ensure everything was clear and easy to operate. The installation is supported by our 24-month workmanship guarantee.
