If you've started researching walk-in baths and the headline prices are giving you sticker-shock, you're not alone. Most national TV-advertised brands carry the cost of celebrity endorsements, franchise overheads and commissioned salespeople — all baked into their quotes. Solent Bathrooms is a Hampshire-based family team supplying and fitting the same British-made baths, typically 15–20% less, with one team from quote to handover.
Bath model — entry-level walk-in, walk-in shower bath, deep-soak or power-lift
Drainage and waste — existing 40mm waste vs. needing a pumped or re-routed waste
Floor type — solid concrete is straightforward; suspended timber may need reinforcement
Electrics — adding a power-lift seat, new lighting or shaver socket needs a Part-P sign-off
Tiling — whether you're keeping existing tiles, re-tiling around the bath only, or full re-tile
VAT — zero-rated for registered disability, applied to the full quote where applicable
