Features of a disabled bathroom

Non-slip flooring

A non-slip surface will not only look nice but also prevent accidents from occurring due to falls.

Shelves and storage spaces

Genesis Bathrooms of Liverpool recommend installing shelves so that you can keep things within reach while also avoiding clutter or breakages.

Accessible Showers

Genesis Bathrooms of Liverpool recommend adding accessible showers as this will make it easier for people using wheelchairs or walking aids to get clean without causing them any discomfort.

No sharp edges

Sharp corners are dangerous because they will hurt anyone who accidentally hits them, especially people with disabilities.

Raised Toilet Seat

Genesis Bathrooms of Liverpool advise customers looking into making a disabled bathroom to consider adding raised toilet seats as this will make it easier to use the loo without hurting their back or joints too much.

Toilets

Genesis Bathrooms of Liverpool state that ensuring the toilet is easy to access and reach is an important part of making a disabled bathroom, especially if you are offering public facilities too.

Grab bars and safety rails

What is involved in setting up a disabled bathroom?

The first stage in installing a disabled bathroom is to consider the layout of your space. Genesis Bathrooms of Liverpool recommend that you leave plenty of open flooring, particularly near doors and entrances, to make it easier for people using wheelchairs or walking aids to navigate their way around easily.

The next step is the fixtures and fittings. We start this process by assessing the size of your bathroom and considering any other spaces that could potentially be included in this area. Genesis Bathrooms of Liverpool will then offer advice on what you might need to consider when planning out a disabled bathroom space-such as grab-rails for getting into or out of the shower safely, non-slip flooring to avoid accidents while standing up after bathing (or during showering), safety rails near the toilet if needed, etc.
