Walk-In Shower Conversion
Bath out, low-threshold walk-in shower in — with anti-slip flooring and a thermostatic shower.
Accessible Bathrooms & Mobility Wet Rooms in Dartford & Kent
Walk-in showers, level-access wet rooms and safe, dignified bathroom adaptations for elderly and reduced-mobility users — built properly, without fuss.
A Bathroom That Works for Everyone
The bathroom is where most falls at home happen. The right adaptation removes the step, the slip and the strain — so the person using it keeps their independence, safely.
Level-Access Wet Rooms
Fully tanked and tiled with no tray, step or threshold. A walking frame, shower chair or wheelchair rolls straight in. The same commercial-grade waterproofing we use on every wet room.
Walk-In Shower Conversions
We remove the bath and fit a low-threshold walk-in shower in its place — usually in under a week. The single most effective safety upgrade for an older person's bathroom.
Safety Without the 'Hospital Look'
Grab rails, fold-down seats and anti-slip floors now come in finishes that look like any premium bathroom. Safe doesn't have to mean clinical.
Built Around the Person
Comfort-height toilets, lever taps for arthritic hands, thermostatic anti-scald showers, and everything positioned to an occupational therapist's spec when one is involved.
Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG) — Funding May Be Available
Many accessible bathroom adaptations qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant — a means-tested council grant worth up to £30,000 in England. Here's how it works:
Contact Your Council
Apply through your local council — for example Dartford Borough Council, the London Borough of Bexley or Gravesham. They'll explain the means test and the process.
Occupational Therapist Visit
An OT assesses what adaptations are needed — commonly a level-access shower, grab rails and wider access. Their report sets the specification.
Choose Your Contractor
Councils usually ask for written quotes — you're free to use any contractor. If you choose us, we build exactly to the OT's specification at a fixed price and photograph each stage.

Could a Grant Pay for This? Check in 60 Seconds
Answer five quick questions and we'll tell you whether a Disabled Facilities Grant looks worth applying for, the right first phone call for your council, and give you a ready-to-send letter to start the process.
This is free information, not advice — your council makes every decision. We're an independent local firm (not part of any council), our help costs nothing, and we only earn anything if you separately choose us for building work. Read our full plain-English DFG guide.
Before you start — what we ask and what happens to it
- Two of the five questions ask about disability or a long-term health condition, and one asks whether a means-tested benefit is received. We ask only these, because they are what decides whether a Disabled Facilities Grant is worth applying for. Please don't type any other medical detail — we don't need it and won't use it.
- Your answers stay in your browser. Nothing is sent to GWS unless you choose, at the end, to ask George to call you — and only then, with your explicit consent.
- If you do ask for a call, we keep your answers for up to 12 months and then delete them. You can withdraw consent and ask us to delete them sooner at any time on 07376 641877. Full details in our privacy policy.

Accessible Bathroom FAQs
Common questions about mobility bathrooms, wet rooms and Disabled Facilities Grants in Dartford, Bexley and across Kent.
How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Dartford and Kent?
A straightforward bath-to-walk-in-shower conversion typically costs £2,500–£4,500. A fully tanked, level-access wet room is usually £4,000–£10,000, and a complete accessible bathroom adaptation — wet room, comfort-height toilet, support rails and anti-slip flooring — is typically £5,000–£12,000 depending on the room and specification. Every job gets a written fixed-price quote before any work starts.
What is a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) and can you do DFG work?
A Disabled Facilities Grant is a means-tested council grant that helps pay for essential home adaptations — level-access showers and wet rooms are among the most common. In England the grant can currently be worth up to £30,000. You apply through your local council (for example Dartford Borough Council or the London Borough of Bexley), usually starting with an assessment by an occupational therapist — and a DFG doesn't affect any benefits you already receive. Yes — we're happy to carry out DFG-funded work and will build exactly to the specification set out in the occupational therapist's assessment. Councils usually ask for more than one quote, and you're always free to choose any contractor.
What's the safest shower option for an elderly or reduced-mobility user?
For most people it's a level-access wet room: no tray, no step, no door threshold — the floor is fully tanked and gently slopes to the drain, so a walking frame, shower chair or wheelchair can move straight in. We combine that with anti-slip flooring, a thermostatic shower (so the water can never scald), a fold-down seat, and grab rails positioned where they're genuinely useful.
Can you adapt our bathroom without a full renovation?
Yes. Smaller adaptations make a big difference on their own: replacing a bath with a walk-in shower, fitting a comfort-height toilet, adding grab rails and a shower seat, or changing to lever taps. We'll always recommend the smallest job that solves the problem — not the biggest one we can sell.
How disruptive is the work, and will we be left without a bathroom?
A bath-to-shower conversion usually takes 3–5 days and a full wet room adaptation around 1–2 weeks. We keep the toilet usable for as much of the job as possible, protect floors and hallways, and tidy up at the end of every day — especially important when the person using the bathroom has limited mobility.
Do you work with occupational therapists and family members arranging work on someone's behalf?
All the time. If an occupational therapist has assessed the room, we build to their specification exactly. And if you're arranging the work for a parent or relative, we're happy to keep you updated by phone or WhatsApp at every stage, even if you're not local.
