How long does installation take?

Most walk-in bath and shower installations are completed within a single day. More complex installations may take longer and we'll always advise in advance.

What if my bathroom layout is unusual?

We're used to dealing with unusual bathroom layouts. If your survey reveals anything needing special consideration, we'll tell you clearly before any work begins — not on the day.

Walk-In Bath & Walk-in Shower Installation

Q: How long from ordering to installation?

We build to order so from placing your order to installation is normally around 6 to 10 weeks. We'll agree a convenient date and keep you informed throughout.

Q: Will I need re-tiling after installation?

In most cases no. Our products are designed to fit within your existing bath space with minimal disruption to surrounding tiles and décor.

Q: Can I install a walk-in bath myself?

No — Aquability's products must be fitted by our own trained engineers. DIY installation would invalidate the product guarantee.

Fully Trained Engineers Only

Aquability only uses fully trained engineers to install your walk-in bath or walk-in shower. We have been installing accessible bathing products since 1994 and our professional installers will take into consideration any particular requirements you have, so that disruption is kept to a minimum.

We are used to dealing with unusual bathroom layouts and tend to see them as challenges rather than problems. We aim to attend to every detail so that your installation is carried out smoothly, sympathetically and efficiently — with no mess, no fuss and usually no re-tiling.

Most installations are completed within a single day. You say goodbye to your old bath in the morning and hello to your new walk-in bath or walk-in shower by the evening.

What to Expect on Installation Day

Every installation follows the same careful process — here's what happens from start to finish:

Your Engineer Arrives

Your fully trained Aquability engineer arrives at the agreed time, introduces themselves and will explain how they will carry out the installation.

Old Bath Removed & Disposed Of

Your existing bath is carefully removed and taken away for disposal — nothing for you to arrange or deal with.

New Bath or Shower Fitted

Your new walk-in bath or walk-is shower is usually installed in the same space as your old bath. Aquability will take care of all plumbing and any optional features such as power seat, grab rails or spa jets.

Hygienic Easy Clean Panels

Aquability walk-in Showers are manufactured with Easy-to-clean hygienic panels, which means no more mouldy grout. No re-tiling required in most cases.

Everything Tested & Signed Off

Your engineer tests everything thoroughly — water temperature, door seal, any powered features — and you will be asked to sign the satisfaction note to confirm you are happy with the installation before the engineer leaves.

Full Demonstration & Tidy Up

Your engineer shows you how everything works, answers any questions, and leaves your bathroom clean and tidy. Most jobs are done by the end of the day.

Installation FAQs
