Accessible Bathroom Installation
We design and install accessible bathrooms that make everyday washing safer and easier, from walk-in showers to level-access floors, fitted properly and finished without mess left behind.
What an accessible bathroom install can include
Every accessible bathroom is different, so we build the design around the person using it. Here's what commonly forms part of the job.
Walk-in & Level-Access Showers
Level-access or low-threshold shower conversions that remove trip hazards and make stepping in and out easier.
Grab Rails & Support Fittings
Securely fixed rails and support points positioned where they're actually needed, not just where they look neat.
Non-Slip Flooring
Safer, slip-resistant flooring laid and sealed properly around showers, toilets and turning space.
Accessible Toilets & Basins
Raised or comfort-height toilets and basins positioned to suit wheelchair, walking frame or seated use.
Bathrooms that work for the person using them, not just the room
An accessible bathroom isn't a standard bathroom with a few extras bolted on. It starts with how someone actually moves, whether that's with a wheelchair, a walking frame, or simply less steadiness on their feet than they used to have. We design around that first, then build the bathroom to fit it, rather than the other way round.
That usually means a proper look at the space and the person's needs before anything is drawn up: door widths, turning room, where grab rails need to go, and whether a kerbless shower or level-access wet room makes more sense than a traditional cubicle. Once the design is agreed, we handle the whole job ourselves, tearing out the old bathroom, levelling and waterproofing the floor, doing the plumbing and any electrics, then tiling and finishing it properly.
A good accessible bathroom should disappear into daily life, not feel like an adaptation bolted onto it.
We hear the same worries a lot: will it look clinical, will the work take over the house, will it still work in five or ten years if mobility changes further. We design with that last point in mind where we can, and we're careful about dust sheets, daily clean-up and keeping the rest of the house liveable while we're on site.
More information
We do this work across Brighton, Hove, Woodingdean, Lewes, Seaford, Worthing, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and other nearby Sussex towns, usually for homeowners planning ahead for a family member, recovering from a change in mobility, or simply wanting a bathroom that's easier and safer to use day to day. As a Gas Safe registered, Vaillant-accredited plumbing and heating company, we can also fold in any heating or hot water changes the room needs as part of the same job.
Tidy, careful work matters just as much as the design itself, especially in a bathroom someone depends on.
If you're at the early stage of working out what's possible, or you've already got a rough idea of what you need, get in touch and we'll talk it through before anything is priced up.
