A great accessible bathroom is designed around the person who uses it. It starts with understanding what they need, today and in the years ahead.
Popular features

Deciding what is needed
An occupational therapist can assess the person’s needs now and in the future. The council uses their recommendations when deciding on a Disabled Facilities Grant.
Funding
A Disabled Facilities Grant from your local council can pay for all or part of the adaptations. It is means-tested for adults, exempt for children, and approved before work starts. Adaptations can also qualify for zero-rated VAT.
How we help
We survey your bathroom, work from the occupational therapist’s recommendations and give you a written, itemised quote. Your survey is free, with no obligation.
