Or are you just looking to upgrade your shower? Either way, choosing between a step in shower and a walk-in can be tricky, as each comes with its own pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve compiled some advice below to help you choose. Then, when you\u2019re ready to get started, rely on one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/local-bathroom-fitter\">skilled bathroom fitters<\/a> to help you get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a step in shower?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, step in showers have raised edges, shower panels or doors that you need to cross in order to get into the shower area. These edges are designed to stop water from flowing out. Step ins are the most common type of shower, and often have shower curtains or glass doors that also help contain water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a walk-in shower?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A walk-in shower, also known as a wet room shower, is a shower that doesn\u2019t have any raised edges or doors. This means that you can walk directly into the shower space without obstacles by going up the slightly sloping floor. Walk-in showers are usually very spacious, and are popular for their modern, contemporary look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
