Mobility Bathroom Features

 

What types of mobility features do you include in your bathrooms?
At Bathing Mobility Advisory Service (BMAS), we design and install complete accessible bathrooms including walk-in showers, walk-in baths and wet rooms, tailored to your individual needs. Our bathrooms can include:

  • Walk-in Baths featuring low entry thresholds, comfortable seating, and easy-to-use controls for a safe and enjoyable bathing experience.
  • Walk-in Baths with Built-in Bath Lifts to assist with safely entering and exiting the bath.
  • Walk-in Showers: Shower spaces can be designed for example, with room for a carer to assist, with shower screens that can fold back to create more space. Thermostatic shower controls maintain a safe water temperature. In addition, shower controls can be placed just outside the shower area, which allows you to use them without getting wet. Shower seats are securely wall-hung and can fold flat to the wall when not needed.
  • Anti-slip flooring is used throughout our wet rooms
  • Comfort-height toilets and Japanese-style smart toilets are popular with our customers.
  • Grab Bars and Rails are available in various styles and finishes, these are securely wall-mounted, and are well placed for safety, for example they can be positioned horizontally or vertically.

How does the installation process work?
Most installations take five days, although larger projects may take a little longer. Before work begins, we’ll agree an installation date with you. Our experienced installers remove your existing bathroom. They will install your new accessible bathroom, completing all plumbing and installation work required. Once the work is complete, the installation team will show you how everything works and answer any questions you have before they leave. We always aim to minimise disruption to your home.

Accessible Bathroom FAQs: Costs & Warranties

Do you offer financing or staged payment?
Unfortunately we don’t offer finance. You pay in three instalments, a deposit to secure your installation date, followed by a second payment and then a final payment at completion.

 

Are mobility bathrooms VAT free?
If you’re living with a long-term illness or disability and the bathroom is being installed to meet your needs, you may qualify for 0% VAT. Our team will explain the eligibility criteria and help you complete the necessary declaration before installation.

 

Do you offer a warranty?
  • Yes, every product we supply comes with a manufacturer’s warranty, lasting from three to 10 years. Our installations are fully covered by a 1-year workmanship guarantee.
