Stud partition walls make it straightforward to fit horizontal grab rail backing or reinforced fixing points at the right height.

Point 3

Ground floor rooms with a solid slab are generally suited to lowering the floor slightly to remove a step at the doorway.

Your questions answered

Can a step-free shower be fitted without moving the door?

Usually yes in these house types, provided the floor build-up allows a small drop to the drain, this needs checking before work starts.

Are grab rails fitted into stud walls secure long-term?

Only with proper noggins or a fixing plate behind the plasterboard; a rail screwed straight into board alone won't take sustained load.
