Are you planning to create an accessible bathroom for an elderly or disabled loved one? Well, you're not alone. Thousands of families across the UK are looking for ways to make their bathrooms safer and more comfortable for their loved ones. 


However, installing an accessible bathroom is a much more complicated project than a traditional bathroom installation. Luckily, with the help of a specialist bathroom installer, you can create the perfect accessible bathroom that meets all your needs.


At Parish Bathrooms, we specialise in creating accessible bathrooms for the elderly and disabled. We understand that every customer's needs are unique. Every one of our customers has different challenges when it comes to their mobility and every property also has its own challenges.


That's why we offer expert advice and support to ensure that you get the bathroom of your dreams. Here are some tips on working with a professional bathroom installer for your accessible bathroom project.


1. Get a Free Consultation


The first step in creating an accessible bathroom is to schedule a free consultation with a professional bathroom installer. During this consultation, our team of experts will assess your bathroom space and discuss your specific needs and requirements. We will work with you to determine the best design and layout for your bathroom and provide you with an accurate quote for the project.

2. Choose a Level Access Bathroom


A level-access bathroom is an excellent option for those who require wheelchair access or have mobility issues. A level access bathroom is designed with a shower area that is flush with the bathroom floor, making it easy to get in and out of the shower without the need to step up or down. This feature makes it much easier for wheelchair users to access the shower area, and it also reduces the risk of slips and falls.



3. Consider Grab Rails and Handheld Showers

 

Grab rails and handheld showers are essential safety features for an accessible bathroom. Grab rails provide support and stability for those with mobility issues, while handheld showers make it easier to reach all areas of the body. At Parish Bathrooms, we can install grab rails and handheld showers in your bathroom to ensure your safety and comfort.


4.  Choose Non-Slip Flooring


One of the most important features of an accessible bathroom is non-slip flooring. Non-slip flooring reduces the risk of slips and falls, especially when the floor is wet. At Parish Bathrooms, we offer a range of non-slip flooring options, including vinyl, porcelain, and ceramic tiles. We can help you choose the best flooring option for your bathroom based on your specific needs and preferences.

At Parish Bathrooms, we are committed to providing expert advice and support to ensure that you get the bathroom of your dreams.

Spring is a time when many of us look around our homes and start thinking about changes we have been putting off. If you or a loved one has been finding the bathroom more difficult to manage, perhaps after a fall, a health change, or simply as life has slowed down a little, it may feel like the right moment to explore your options. Arranging a free home assessment with Parish Bathrooms is often the first step, and it's a far more relaxed and reassuring experience than many people expect.
