What Is a Level Access Shower?

If you’ve been looking into safe and accessible bathroom options, you may have come across the term “level access shower.” But what exactly does it mean, and how could it benefit your home? At AJT Showers, we’ve designed and installed many of these across the South East, so here’s everything you need to know.

A Shower Without Barriers

A level access shower is a type of walk-in shower where the shower tray is completely flush with the bathroom floor. Unlike traditional trays that require you to step up or over, the floor is level all the way through, making it seamless and easy to walk — or wheel — straight in.

This design removes barriers, which is particularly helpful for:

• Elderly users, who may struggle with balance.
• People with mobility issues, as there’s no step to navigate.
• Wheelchair users, who can enter the shower safely and comfortably.

Why Choose a Level Access Shower?

The biggest advantage is safety. Without a raised edge, there’s less risk of tripping or slipping when entering the shower. This can make a huge difference in day-to-day life, especially for those who want to remain independent at home.

But safety isn’t the only benefit. A level access shower also offers:

• Accessibility – suitable for all ages and abilities.
• Modern style – sleek, open layouts that look contemporary.
• Easy maintenance – smooth wall panels and non-slip flooring reduce cleaning effort and improve hygiene.

Design Ideas in Practice

Level access showers don’t have to look clinical or plain. In fact, many of our designs combine functionality with style, creating bathrooms that are both practical and beautiful.

For example, our Belmont and Florence walk-in showers showcase how low-threshold and level-entry options can be integrated with glass panels, non-slip flooring, and modern finishes. These showers give you the safety you need without compromising on appearance.

Who Are They Best Suited For?

While anyone can enjoy the comfort of a level access shower, they are especially suited to:

• People with reduced mobility who find stepping into a bath or shower tray difficult.
• Families planning for the future, ensuring their bathroom remains accessible as they age.
• Households that want a sleek, open-plan bathroom with a modern finish.
