Updating bathroom with a walk-in shower unit.

The prices are indeed eyewatering! I was quoted over £8,000 to have bath removed and replaced with a walk in shower with screens etc.
That was from one of those firms you mention.

I got a local small business to do the same for just over £3,000. He did a fantastic job which also included co ordinating wall panels, grab rails etc. I have since put 3 people on to him and they are all equally pleased.

I’m going down this route at the moment and although mine is dearer than yours it’s coming in at the moment under the budget I set for myself to spend. Local business.

This is why word of mouth recommendations are worth their weight in gold, especially if the person kindly lets you have a looksee also!

They are expensive, but if you can afford a walk in shower do get one. I love mine. Ensure it has what you need, grab rails and seat if needed , non slip surface , mine is officially nonslip but I always use a long suction shower mat just to be sure.
Some years ago now so unable to give you approximate cost. There is such a wide choice, have you a family member or friend who can help you with your choice? Good luck , if you go ahead I don't think you will regret that decision.
