As part of our bathroom products, we offer mobility showers, which are a great thing for anybody in Scarborough with disabilities or mobility problems.
Disabled bathrooms or a mobility wet room/mobility bathroom are great, but sometimes you don't need an entirely new bathroom. If you're just thinking about how to future proof your bathroom or shower room, then simply installing a mobility shower might be a cheaper option for you, and one that makes sense for the future.
To learn more about the Scarborough teams Bathroom Crew mobility showers installation process and who they might be right for you, read on below.
A mobility shower can be part of a mobility bathroom or shower room, or simply installed in your current bathroom to ensure you can bathe safely in the future.
The point of a mobility shower is that elderly people, those with disabilities, and anyone with mobility issues can use the shower safely thanks to easy access, and a few key features.
Grab rails are almost always a feature in a mobility shower, just as they should be in accessible bathrooms to ensure safety.
In a shower, though, they can be placed at the entrance to help support the individual as they take the small step up before bathing. This ensures safety and is a brilliant solution for those with mobility issues who want to feel confident in their own home.
Although not strictly level access due to the small step into the shower caddy, mobility showers are often chosen because they tend to control the water better whilst bathing, meaning water stays in the caddy and isn't splashed all over the floor outside the space, keeping your bathroom tidy.
To support bathing, mobility showers will often have a stylish built in seating area so that you can sit down whilst bathing. Excellent for those who aren't steady on their feet for long periods of time.
Slip resistant flooring in the shower is also important. It's much more practical for the individual using the shower and it makes the entire process of showering a much safer one.
Not all mobility showers are made equal. Whilst we always offer the best quality products here at Bathroom Crew, we also focus on what YOU need.
That means we'll never push you to install additional features if you feel it isn't necessary. For example, if you're able to stand for long periods, you might opt for a mobility shower without the seat.
The point is, you choose what your shower looks like. Our expert team of bathroom fitters simply helps you decide what the right solution is for you.
A walk in shower is slightly different because it requires level access, meaning there is no step up to the shower. This may be a better option for those in Scarborough who require disabled bathrooms (with accessible toilets, walk in baths, etc) because it is a much more accessible product.
A walk in bath may be a better option for those with severe mobility issues. Walk-in baths tend to work best when an individual needs assistance whilst bathing, but our team is always on hand at the start of any project to talk about your needs so we can create the perfect bathroom or wet room for you.
Transform Your Bathroom with Bathroom Crew - Safe, Accessible, and Beautiful.
A mobility shower is best for those who need a little extra space whilst showering, and may need a few features to help them bathe more comfortably. Remember, though, that a small step into the caddy is often required, so be sure this will suit your needs before setting your heart on it.
We offer more than just mobility bathroom installation options. Perhaps wet rooms or walk in baths will work better for you.

During any Scarborough mobility bathroom installation, we have a few different tasks that need to be completed. To help you understand what we'll do if you work with us, here's what a typical installation will look like:
The first thing we'll do is simply talk. When you contact us initially, we'll get a few ideas from you:
Once we know more about what you need, we'll be able to start thinking about the practical aspects of the job.
When talking about design, we'll usually make a home visit or discuss your range of options over the phone. After all, what's the point in handing out a free brochure or making you take a trip to the head office when your home is where the installation will be taking place?
This way, we can sit down with you and come up with a solution that's going to work for you. Whether it's easy access you require, handrails, or a seat in the shower, we need to make design choices that not only look great, but suit your needs too.
Any bathrooms/wet rooms we complete will be practical first and foremost, but also perfectly styled for you, so you can express yourself.
As soon as we know what you need - in this case, a mobility shower at least - we can carry out the installation. Every aspect of installation.
We rip out the old bathroom products, and install the new ones - taking care of any plumbing, fitting, and wiring as we do.
We're a one stop shop for all your shower needs, so we can handle every stage from the initial planning and design stage to sourcing the materials and installing everything for you on site. Not many businesses like Bathroom Crew have it all like we do!
