Yes, assisted bathing systems are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £6,000 to £35,000, and most deals are written over 24–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 3–5 working days. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Check EligibilityAn assisted bathing system is normally plumbed in and fixed to a specific room, so it is often treated as part of the building or as an integral feature for capital allowances purposes rather than as freestanding moveable plant, an accountant should confirm the correct treatment before purchase, particularly where the operator leases the premises. Where the system does qualify as plant, the Annual Investment Allowance can allow the full cost to be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to £1,000,000, subject to the normal AIA rules. Leasing can shift the allowances position onto the finance provider rather than the operator.
Assisted bathing systems are bought by care homes and nursing homes registered with the Care Quality Commission in England, or the equivalent regulator elsewhere in the UK, and are usually installed to meet the assessed bathing and moving and handling needs of residents with limited mobility rather than as a discretionary bathroom upgrade. Because the system is plumbed into a specific room, purchase is most commonly tied to a new build or a bathroom refurbishment rather than bought as a freestanding replacement item. Replacement is driven mainly by the condition of the hoist or transfer mechanism and by plumbing and hygiene wear rather than a fixed age, and because each installation is fitted to a specific room, a used market for this equipment is very limited.
