An accessible bathroom is crafted with ease of use at its core, providing features that allow individuals with mobility challenges to move around comfortably and without barriers. Unlike a traditional bathroom, which can include high thresholds and limited accessibility, an accessible bathroom reduces risks and enhances convenience.
Imagine a bathroom where you no longer need to worry about stepping over a high bath ledge or slipping on wet surfaces. Instead, you have a walk-in shower, slip-resistant flooring, and well-placed grab bars, giving you confidence to manage daily tasks independently. An accessible bathroom empowers you to complete your routines with ease.
Mobility bathrooms are specifically designed for individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids. They are essential in creating a home environment that is not only accessible but also safe and comfortable.
The benefits of mobility bathrooms go beyond making the space more user-friendly. Features such as height-adjustable sinks, raised toilets, and roll-under vanities provide a practical solution for wheelchair users. Strategically placed grab bars offer stability and help reduce the risk of falls. Mobility bathrooms are designed to improve your quality of life by providing greater independence and comfort.
When adapting your bathroom, it’s important to understand what the process entails. At Taylor Made Mobility, we ensure the experience is as seamless as possible for our Oxfordshire clients:
The first step in adapting your bathroom is a thorough consultation, during which we assess your needs, review your current space, and discuss the best options for you. Whether it’s a full renovation or a few simple modifications, we tailor our approach to fit your lifestyle.
Once we understand your requirements, our team creates a bespoke design that reflects your needs and style. An accessible bathroom doesn’t need to look clinical—our designs focus on both functionality and beauty, ensuring that every aspect is suited to your preferences.
The installation process is straightforward. Our experienced team works efficiently to minimise disruption, completing installations within just a few days. We aim to make the transition as smooth as possible, ensuring every detail is attended to.
Even after the installation is complete, our support continues. We offer aftercare and guidance, ensuring that you are comfortable with your new bathroom and that everything works exactly as it should.
While a standard bathroom may work for some, it can be challenging for those with mobility issues. An accessible bathroom, by contrast, is designed to overcome these barriers:
Unlike traditional bathrooms, which often feature thresholds or ledges that can create a tripping hazard, accessible bathrooms have barrier-free showers and easy-access doors, making entry and exit straightforward.
Fixtures like toilets, sinks, and mirrors in regular bathrooms are usually placed at standard heights, which can be difficult for wheelchair users. In a mobility bathroom, fixtures are adjustable or positioned specifically for easy access.
Accessible bathrooms also incorporate lever-style taps, hands-free showerheads, and automated features to make using the space simpler for those with limited hand strength.
A wet room is a fantastic option for those seeking both accessibility and style. It transforms the entire bathroom into an open-plan shower area without any need for trays or barriers.
Wet rooms are ideal for anyone with significant mobility challenges as they remove all obstacles. With no shower tray or step, there’s easy entry and ample room for a wheelchair or carer assistance.
Besides being incredibly practical, wet rooms also bring a contemporary, luxurious look to your home. They’re easy to maintain, thanks to waterproof surfaces and non-slip tiling, which also helps make cleaning hassle-free.
If space is limited or you’re looking for a straightforward solution, shower pods could be the answer. These self-contained units are quick to install and provide a safe, accessible showering option.
Shower pods are perfect for smaller bathrooms, offering features like level entry, built-in seating, and thermostatic controls in a compact form. They are highly customisable, meaning you can choose from a variety of options to suit your needs, while installation is quick and minimally disruptive, so you can start enjoying your new bathroom sooner.
Costs vary depending on the type of adaptation needed and the features you choose. Simple modifications like installing grab bars are generally more affordable, whereas full bathroom renovations, including a wet room conversion or high-tech features, require more investment.
At Taylor Made Mobility, we believe in transparent pricing. We work within your budget, providing high-quality adaptations that won’t break the bank. With our price match guarantee, you can rest assured that you are getting the best value for your accessible bathroom in Oxfordshire.
