Bathroom Aids Checklist

Our trusted assessor qualified team are here to help in your choice of product. Make sure you get the one that best suits you and your needs.

Here’s a list of things that can help when you are less mobile in the bathroom:

On the floor

  • Non-slip mat outside and inside the shower or bath

Holding on

  • Grab bars next to the toilet or to help in and out of the bath or shower
  • A frame around the toilet to hold onto when sitting down and standing up

In the shower

  • A chair or stool to sit on while you shower
  • A handheld showerhead on a flexible hose
  • A long-handled brush or sponge to reach your feet and back

In the bath

  • A seat or bench that sits across the bath so you can slide in rather than step over
  • A bath lift that gently lowers and raises you
  • A step to help you up into the bath

On the toilet

  • A raised toilet seat so you don’t have to bend as far down
  • A portable commode if getting to the bathroom is difficult
  • A specialist toilet that is height adjustable and/or washes and cleans

Washing and grooming

  • Lever taps or an adaptor to make taps easier to turn
  • A pump dispenser for soap so you don’t have to grip a bar
  • A long-handled comb or brush if raising your arms is difficult

Staying safe

  • An emergency pull cord or personal alarm in case you fall
  • A valve on the taps to stop the water getting too hot
  • A nightlight so you can see clearly if you get up in the night

We work closely with a team of builders and specialist product providers to help with bathroom and wet room conversions ensuring the best possible support and choice of stylish products

This checklist covers the key points, but an assessment from an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or trusted assessor is always the best first step — we offer free no obligation assessments.
