Are you struggling to use your current bathroom effectively? Do you fear that if your mobility issues continue, you may not be able to bathe safely any more?
The solution might just be a mobility bathroom installation, but before you can decide if they're right for you, you'll first need to learn more about what a mobility bathroom is, who it's for, and how our Barlby team at Bathroom Crew carry out a mobility bathroom installation so you can decide if we're right for you.

In order to understand which bathroom is right for you, we've put together a quick-fire guide to bathrooms:
Accessible or disabled bathrooms are designed for individuals with disabilities that might make bathing difficult.
We cover disabled bathroom installations as part of our other services, so check this out if you have a disability that requires significant alterations to a bathroom to create a bathing solution with the space, features, and accessibility requirements that you need.
A mobility bathroom is slightly different to a disabled bathroom because whilst you may find similar features to support with bathing, they won't typically be as extensive. Someone with limited mobility may be able to stand in the shower safely, for example, so a walk in bath wouldn't be necessary.
Really, a mobility bathroom is designed to help people with mobility issues but who don't require space in the bathroom for wheelchairs or other mobility equipment. Some features may be the same, but they can be customised to suit our customers' mobility needs. We'll talk more about the common features later...
Wet rooms are entirely different. A wet room will have level access across the entire room, and there will be no separate shower or bath area like with a mobility or accessible bathroom. The key feature of a disabled wet room installation is that everything can get wet thanks to waterproofing methods.
Some people with disabilities may prefer a wet room to a disabled bathroom since everything is on the same level and there is no need to step up into a shower, for example. These solutions don't suit everyone, though, as a wet room gets messier because there isn't a separate shower area.
Transform Your Bathroom with Bathroom Crew - Safe, Accessible, and Beautiful.
Each bathroom has unique features and are therefore more suitable to a range of accessibility and mobility issues. Deciding which is right for you depends on your level of mobility issues, disabilities, and requirements from a bathroom or wet room space.
Call our Barlby team of bathroom experts today, and we'll be able to discuss your options and requirements to help create the perfect bathroom or wet room for you.
A mobility bathroom can have a range of features to suit the individual, but you may not require all of them.
Below, we'll simply share the features you can choose, but they may not be suitable for your property or your mobility issues. Again, we can discuss your options when you contact us. But here are the main products found in a mobility bathroom installation:
One mobility bathroom will look very different from another. Some will simply require grab rails and that will be enough to support bathing safely. Others will need more solutions like walk in baths and showers, etc.
Remember, this is YOUR bathroom, so it has to be perfect for YOU. Creating the perfect bathroom for our customers is what we here at Bathroom Crew excel at!
Choose Bathroom Crew for Professional Bathroom Installation Services and Experience Safety, Comfort, and Quality.
The entire process of installing a bathroom varies depending on what we need to install. But we almost always follow this basic process, so you know what to expect:
Our initial consultation with you will always take place in your own home or over the phone. We always try to be more personal than a free brochure online and instruction to get back in touch when you make your mind up - as some of our competitors do.
We build a relationship with our customers and it's through this initial consultation that we're able to discuss your mobility issues and needs to help make life in your bathroom easier.
We will also discuss whether you need to rip out the old bathroom and replace it with something new, or if you can simply add a few products to improve the quality of the room for you.
This will always be considered before each project to determine what's right for you and your needs.
The style of the bathroom will be discussed once you've decided on the primary products you need in the bathroom to make relaxation possible in a safe place. Creating a stylish room with the right bathing solutions is important here, so we'll work with you to discuss your design options to complete a bathroom you love.
We carry out the whole installation for you - taking you from initial idea to a completed job. Plumbing, wiring, fitting - we do it all.
And all you need to do is sit back and relax whilst the installation takes place.
The overall cost to install a mobility bathroom in Barlby will depend on what you need. Some grab rails by your current shower and a grab rail to help you step in and out of baths won't cost as much as an entirely new walk-in shower for the elderly, for example.
We will be open and honest about the cost whilst discussing the project with you, so there will be no hidden costs to the installation. And we'll always give advice to help create a bathroom that's perfect for you, within your budget.
Contact the Bathroom Crew in Barlby today for an initial quote based on your requirements. We have also created a post entitled “cost for a new bathroom” that may help with a rough guide. Also another entitled “how much does a disabled wetroom cost”.
We also created a post with information on “grants for disabled bathrooms” that may be of assistance.
If you think a mobility bathroom installation might be right for you, then contact the Bathroom Crew Barlby team today and we'll be able to discuss which of our bathroom services is right for you.
We can't wait to hear from you to help you find the bathroom of your dreams!
To ensure safety, accessibility, and usability, mobility bathroom installations in the United Kingdom must adhere to specific building regulations such as Parts M, P, and H. For compliance and permit requirements, it is critical to consult your local building control department. A professional mobility bathroom installer can assist you in navigating the process and ensuring that your project complies with all applicable regulations.
All our bathrooms come with a no quibble guarantee - and our fitters will always make sure you're happy before they leave your property. If you find any issues after bathing for the first time, then get back in touch and any work needed to find a solution will be completely free!
Installing new walk in baths or a walk in shower will take some time if we are ripping out old showers and baths to replace them. Again, it depends on the property; the changes being made, and what exactly you need in your bathroom to support your mobility issues. We can give a better idea of the time frame when you call us.
There are several grants and funding options available in the UK to help cover the cost of a disabled bathroom installation, including the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), Access to Work grant, charitable trusts, and local council funding. Eligibility criteria and funding available may vary depending on the specific grant or funding scheme.
