Dolphin Walk In Showers

Walk-in shower installation from a Bournemouth base

Dolphin Walk In Showers Ltd is a UK company that supplies and fits walk-in showers, working from Clifton House on Poole Hill in Bournemouth, Dorset. Its core proposition is the replacement of a conventional bath with a spacious walk-in shower area that occupies the same footprint as the bath it removes. The company states that it installs throughout the UK.

The service is aimed at households that find climbing in and out of a bath, or using a shower positioned over the bath, increasingly awkward, as well as at customers who simply want a more contemporary bathroom. The company describes its offer as combining assisted bathing options with a modern finish.

What the installation includes

According to the company, a standard project covers the removal of the existing bath and the creation of a full-size shower area comprising:

• A low-level stone resin shower tray
• Floor-to-ceiling decorative wall panels across the new shower area, with a wide choice of finishes
• A full toughened glass screen
• A new Mira shower

Where required, the design can incorporate individually positioned handles and seats to support independent bathing. The company also lists safety seats and hand rails among its accessories, and positions itself as a supplier and installer of walk-in showers for customers who need assisted bathing as well as those seeking a purely aesthetic upgrade.

One-day fitting and the survey process

Dolphin Walk In Showers states that the work is completed in one day, from removal of the bath to completion of the new shower, with the aim of keeping disruption inside the home to a minimum. The company says the absence of tiling means no mess and no grout lines to clean, and presents the resulting installation as easy to maintain.

Before recommending a product, the company describes a consultation and survey visit intended to establish the customer's needs and confirm that the proposed solution fits the space. The same consultation and installation service is offered for full bathroom refurbishments, not only for shower replacements. The company notes that a window is not an obstacle to fitting the shower into the space previously occupied by the bath.

Pricing and customer feedback

The site advertises a price of £4,699 for the conversion of a bath into a walk-in shower area, presented as part of its current catalogue at the time of writing this profile. It also refers to a five-star customer rating and to customer satisfaction being guaranteed, and states that many customers arrive through recommendations from existing clients. The company has appeared on television, a point it highlights in its own presentation.
