Accessible Bathrooms – Safety, Comfort & Independence at Home
Share
Your bathroom should be a place of comfort, safety, and independence not a source of worry.
Accessible bathrooms are designed to remove barriers, reduce slips, and make daily routines easier for anyone with mobility challenges.
Here’s how accessible bathroom solutions can help you live confidently at home.
1. Walk-In Baths & Showers
Walk-in baths and showers feature low entry steps and easy-access doors, so you can bathe without straining or risking slips.
They’re often fitted with grab rails, built-in seating, and non-slip flooring for added peace of mind.
Ideal for: People who struggle with balance or stepping over a traditional bath edge.
2. Wet Rooms
Wet rooms create a level-access space with waterproof flooring and open design perfect for wheelchair users or those needing carer assistance.
Stylish and practical, they’re also easier to clean and maintain.
Ideal for: Wheelchair users or those who prefer a modern, open-plan bathroom.
3. Shower Seats & Grab Rails
Small additions like foldable shower seats or grab rails can make a big difference. They provide stability and comfort, especially during longer showers.
Ideal for: Those who need extra support but prefer minimal changes to their bathroom.
4. Height-Adjusted Toilets & Basins
Raised toilets and adjustable basins help reduce strain on the knees and hips, allowing you to maintain comfort and independence every day.
Ideal for: Users with arthritis, joint pain, or reduced flexibility.
