YOUR JOURNEY TO INDEPENDENCE
Part of life is getting older. With that comes mobility issues that can affect our ability to feel clean, refreshed and energised. As we get older, our body will not work in the same way as it used to, which can make simple things like climbing in and out of the bath seem perilous. We believe that just because you get older and wiser, that shouldn’t mean you become fearful when it comes to your hygiene.
Agecare Bathrooms supply walk-in baths, walk-in showers, level access showers and full mobility bathroom installations. We help you keep your independence without compromising on design.
5 REASONS
Why our clients have decided to have their bathrooms remodelled to suit their changing needs.
- I have trouble stepping into my bathtub or high shower tray
- I no longer feel safe within my bathroom
- My bathroom isn’t accessible enough
- I would like to be able to sit down while I shower
- I would like my floor to be level and slip resistant
If you face any of these difficulties, explore below how we have helped customers just like you.
HOW WE HAVE HELPED
See how some of our popular options below have helped our previous customers.
Bath out - Shower in
The Chatsworth Range
Was for us to take out the existing bath and replace it with a walk in shower that had no step to enable her parents to be able to shower safely, leaving everything else as it is just concentrating on the shower area only. This also needs to be user friendly for carers who visit to help.
We removed the existing bath that could no longer be used safely. Our client who organised everything on behalf of her elderly parents wanted the piece of mind that they would be as safe as possible when using the bathroom. To accommodate this we installed a level access shower, meaning no steps to trip over and a full anti-slip floor making the whole bathroom floor safe to walk on. A drop down seat with arms, legs and back rest to help them feel safe and secure when showering. Grab rails where needed and a thermostatically controlled shower with easy to use lever handles. The half height shower screen allows for the visiting carers to help with the added benefit of not getting wet. These screens come in various sizes both full height and half height to accommodate different needs. Maintenance free wall boards to complement the rest of the room were also installed.
- 1x wet deck and waste
- 1x half height walk in shower screen set with curtains
- 1x shower seat
- 1x customer to keep existing shower remove and refit
- 1x set of grab rails
- 1x full set of shower wall cladding
- 1x anti slip floor
- 1x full installation including waste removal

Level Access Bathroom
The Wentworth Range

Full Mobility Bathroom
The Hardwick Range
A high quality finish to compliment the rest of their home. One member of the family needed a mobility bath with a powered seat lift as they had much more complex needs and needed help when using the bathroom, unable to bathe alone. Lots of storage, a wash and dry wc and a low profile shower area that other family members could use.
Our top of the range bath with a full power seat lift to take the bather safely from outside the bath to a comfortable seated position within the bath was a must for this client’s needs. The stylish wash and dry v care wc was installed with transfer space to the side. A large freestanding vanity basin with illuminated mirror along with a matching bank of units as you enter the room gives all the storage space needed for medical equipment. For the other members of the family, a large anti-slip low profile shower enclosure with a two head shower and seat completed the brief. High quality Nuance wall boards and a luxury vinyl wood floor complemented the interiors throughout the rest of their home.

Wheelchair friendly Bathroom
Case Study 4
Was simply for a wheelchair friendly shower room.
This bathroom wasn’t a huge bathroom so our design team decided to strip everything back and keep it as open plan as possible. The wall hung basin set at the correct height allows for a wheelchair user to get closer to the basin making it easier to use. The level access shower area allows for turning space and also allows for transfer onto the high spec v care wash and dry wc resulting in an open plan, easy to use, easy to clean, multi generational wetroom.

Dementia friendly Bathroom
Case Study 5
A dementia friendly bathroom for his father
There are a number of points to consider when creating a dementia friendly bathroom – they are as follows.
- Protection against scalding
- Fall protection
- Memory loss
- Retro
- Floor colour perception
- Visual Confusion
Here is how we addressed these points in our design
- The shower and taps are both thermostatically controlled and the towel warmer has a low surface Temperature all protecting against scalding.
- We removed the bath and replaced it with a level access shower to reduce any trip hazards. We also installed a shower seat to reduce the likelihood of falling when showering.
- The shower installed has a 30 minute run time to prevent leaving the shower running and causing a flood. Also the basin plug is a continuous run waste to prevent overflowing the basin.
- Most people with dementia have good long term memory but poor short term and so are more comfortable with familiar fixtures and fittings, this was the reason for us installing a lever action wc and basin taps with levers almost identical to the ones in the customer’s previous bathroom.
- We used a light coloured floor avoiding anything dark as this can be perceived as being a big hole making the user reluctant to step into the bathroom.
- To avoid visual confusion we used contrasting colours to clearly define the showering and toilet area so the user can safely locate and use them. As you can see the walls, floors and mobility aids are all in contrasting colours, this all helps our client use the bathroom in the safest way possible.
- 1x wet deck
- 1x pumped waste and pump
- 1x shower seat – blue
- 1x set of grab rails – blue
- 1x thermostatic shower set
- 1x curtain rail and curtains
- 1x wc drop down arm – blue
- 1x basin with full ped
- 1x thermostatically controlled basin tap lever action
- 1x free flow waste
- 1x comfort height wc with lever – blue seat
- 1x low surface temperature towel warmer
- 1x blue frame mirror
- 1x set of wall boards to full room
- 1x anti slip floor
- 1x shower caddy
- 1x ceiling light vapour proof
- 1x extractor fan
- 1x full installation inc plumbing and electrics and full waste removal
