Cost guide · Updated 2026
How much does a walk-in bath cost fitted?
Most national walk-in bath companies won't give you a price until a salesperson has been to your house. We will. Below are the real fitted prices we charge across the West Midlands, what's included, what pushes the cost up, and how VAT relief and Disabled Facilities Grants can reduce what you actually pay.
Fitted prices
Walk-in bath prices, supplied and installed
These are supply-and-fit prices — not bath-only prices with the installation quoted later.
Compact walk-in bath
From £4,200
Short 1200–1500mm walk-in bath with an inward or outward opening door, low step-in, thermostatic anti-scald filler and tiling to the wet area. Fits the footprint of a standard bath.
Best for: Homeowners who still want to soak but can no longer climb over a bath edge.
Walk-in bath with seat & shower
From £5,400
Deeper soak bath with a moulded seat, integrated grab rail, shower riser and screen so it works as a seated shower too. Non-slip floor and full-height tiling included.
Best for: Households where one person needs assisted bathing and others want a shower.
Assisted / carer-access bath
From £6,800
Wide-door or powered-seat bathing solution with clear carer access both sides where the room allows, reinforced rails, level flooring and anti-scald controls throughout.
Best for: Carer-assisted bathing, and Disabled Facilities Grant funded adaptations.

Extras
What adds to the cost
Typical West Midlands prices when these are done as part of the same install.
| Extra | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Full-height tiling to the whole room | £700 – £1,400 |
| New non-slip vinyl or R11 tiled flooring | £450 – £900 |
| Replacing the WC and basin at the same time | £600 – £1,200 |
| Moving the bath to a different wall (new waste run) | £350 – £850 |
| Powered seat / carer-access bathing system | £1,500 – £3,000 |
| Electrics — shaver point, extractor, downlights | £250 – £600 |
| Structural floor strengthening for a filled bath | £300 – £700 |
Funding & VAT
How to pay less than the sticker price
Most people who need a walk-in bath qualify for at least one of these.
Ask your council about a Disabled Facilities Grant before you commit — up to £30,000 in England for assessed adaptations.
If the user is chronically sick or disabled, the bathing adaptation can usually be zero-rated for VAT, saving 20% on the whole job.
Keeping the bath in the same position avoids a new waste run and saves several hundred pounds.
Tiling only the wet area rather than the whole room keeps a compact install closer to the base price.
Do the WC, basin and flooring in the same visit — doing them later means paying twice for the same set-up and making good.
