Stepping over the side of a bath is often the point where people start to struggle in their own bathroom. An accessible bathroom removes that step. The bath comes out, a level or very low shower goes in, and the room is set up with a seat, rails where your hands naturally reach and a floor that grips when wet. Done well, it looks like a modern shower room, not a hospital.
We plan these rooms around the person who will use them: how they move, whether they use a walking aid or wheelchair, whether a carer helps, and how that may change. Prices usually run from £6,000 to £14,000 supplied and fitted, including VAT where it applies. Work to adapt a home for a disabled person can often be zero-rated for VAT, and grants may help with the cost; we explain both and can work alongside any council assessment.
What does an accessible bathroom with us include?
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer

What do you need to decide?
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.
Screen or curtain
A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.
Seat
A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.
Rail positions
Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.
Walk-in bath
A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
