Accessibility Adaptations
Bathroom accessibility adaptations allow people to use their bathroom safely and independently as their mobility changes. Whether it's fitting grab rails, replacing a bath with a walk-in shower, installing a raised WC seat or converting to a full level-access wet room, these adaptations make a significant difference to quality of life.
Some adaptations are available through local authority Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs), which can fund major works for eligible applicants. Our bathroom fitters are experienced in both private accessibility work and DFG-funded projects.

- Wet room vs standard — wet rooms need full waterproofing and a linear drain, adding to cost.
- Tiling — full-height tiling across multiple walls is more expensive than a partial tile run.
- Plumbing complexity — relocating a soil stack, bath, or shower significantly increases labour cost.
