How We Work

FREE Disabled Bathroom Consultation

At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, we commence our specially adapted bathroom installation process with an initial FREE consultation. We believe that understanding your unique needs, preferences, and living conditions is the key to creating an accessible and beautiful bathroom. During this consultation, our expert team will visit your home to assess the existing bathroom space, discuss your specific requirements, and answer any questions you may have. We will also explore potential layout designs, safety features, and aesthetic options that meet your specifications. This session aims to build a thorough understanding of your needs, which serves as the foundation for designing a bathroom that ensures independence, comfort, and safety. At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and this initial consultation is the first step to creating your ideal bathroom.

Disabled Bathroom Design

After the initial consultation, our design team at Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield embarks on the designing phase. Leveraging their deep understanding of your needs captured during the consultation, they formulate a design plan that balances functionality, safety, and aesthetics. This phase involves creating detailed sketches, 3D renders, and floor plans that incorporate your specified requirements and preferences. We take into consideration various factors such as the optimal placement of fixtures, the allocation of space for maneouverability, and the positioning of safety features like grab bars and support rails. We also focus on the look and feel of the bathroom, ensuring that it aligns with your aesthetic preferences. Upon completion of the design, we present it to you for review and approval. Changes can be made at this stage to ensure total satisfaction. At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, we believe that a well-designed bathroom is the cornerstone of an accessible and comfortable living environment.

Installation Phase

Once the design phase is complete and we have your approval, we move onto the installation phase. At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, we understand that installations can be disruptive. Therefore, our team of skilled and respectful professionals work diligently to ensure the process is as smooth and efficient as possible. We adhere to a structured schedule to minimise any inconvenience and ensure timely completion. We are meticulous in our installation methods, ensuring that every aspect, from the positioning of fixtures to the alignment of tiles, is conducted with utmost precision. Safety checks are conducted throughout the installation process to ensure strict adherence to safety and accessibility standards. We also maintain a clean working environment and commit to leaving your home as neat as we found it. Upon completion, a final walk-through is conducted with you to ensure your complete satisfaction with your new, specially adapted bathroom. At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, we strive to exceed your expectations with our exceptional service and quality.

Quality Assurance and Final Inspection

Our commitment to excellence at Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield extends beyond the installation phase. We place a strong emphasis on quality assurance and conduct a comprehensive final inspection to ensure that every element of your newly installed bathroom meets the highest standards of safety, functionality, and aesthetics. Our expert team meticulously checks all fittings, fixtures, and finishes, verifying their stability, durability, and alignment. They also test the functionality of all elements such as the operation of doors, taps, and showers, the efficiency of drainage systems, and the effectiveness of safety features like grab bars and support rails. Additionally, they assess the overall aesthetic appeal and comfort of the bathroom, ensuring it aligns with your specified preferences. Any areas that require adjustment or improvement are promptly addressed. This final inspection serves to confirm that your disabled and specially adapted bathroom not only meets but exceeds your expectations and our rigorous quality standards. At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, we believe that your satisfaction is the true mark of our success.

Disabled Bathroom Service

Unfortunate circumstances in life, age-related factors or disabilities can make your house and especially the bathroom environment, a health and safety issue and unwelcoming area to be in. Floors can become slippy, and the bath itself inaccessible because of the height. We cater for and offer solutions in our business that can completely change your bathroom around to suit your personal disability or mobility difficulties. We serve the Wakefield and West Yorkshire riding.

While any properly designed disabled bathroom caters for the personal needs of the disabled member of the family, we try not to leave the rest of the family members out in our design principles. We always try to keep their needs met also, as we design and build a bathroom that suits everyone.

Special Adaptive Bathroom

For us to design and produce a bathroom that's adaptable to senior citizens and someone with disabled needs, then you really must have a non-slip type of flooring installed, grab railings for added support and safety and non-slip shower or bath surfaces installed within. In addition to that work, we will always install specially raised basins and toilets that will be a comfortable height for the intended users. The next part would be to install thermostatically controlled shower units and suitable baths with openings at the side. If a wet room is more your style, then we will create an open plan design to suit your specific requirements and install adjustable shower controls that are lever operated and at the correct height for the user.

Disabled Shower Room

After we fully renovate and complete all the installation of your bathroom, then you can completely eliminate all the slips, falls, and trips, that you may have experienced beforehand and start to enjoy a safe and comfortable environment. Our walk-in style shower design units that we can install for you will not have the usual door as a hindrance, making access in and out a more pleasant experience and easy for any wheelchair users.

If you still want to have the comfort of a long soak in a bath, then we have walk-in type baths we can offer and design for you. These are very user-friendly with fully equipped non-leaking doors and they are of fantastic quality. However, they are best used and ideal for those users that can walk, which I am afraid excludes wheelchair users from this option. Once the bather has finished taking a bath, they will always need to drain the bathe before opening and exiting the unit.

Disabled Wet Room

If you have been on the lookout for simplicity and an all-round easy accessible kind of bathroom, then may I suggest a wet room, as this ticks all the boxes and could be ideal for your circumstances. Because it offers minimalism, a wheelchair-bound person and user can enter and get in and out smoothly totally unaided. To make them even safer and more secure, we also include our non-slip safety areas, we just install all the controls, levers and knobs to the height of the person in question, and the addition of grab handles will create the balance that is needed for them to be comfortable.

Disabled Bath Lifts

If you would like to make a normal and regular bath unit so it's usable by all the family, including the disabled member, may we suggest the installation of one of our bath lifts? The user can sit on the lift, which will then slowly lower them into the bath. Once the person has finished bathing they can press a control switch and be raised out from the bath. This system is ideal for people that can sit on the bath by the side first and swing their legs over when entering and swing them back over onto the floor upon exit. The unit can easily be removed when not in use or for cleaning purposes.

Disabled Bath Hoist

Another great option available for your wheelchair users is a dedicated bath hoist. This is basically a seat where the person sits and they hoisted up and down into the bath. They come in mechanical and electrical powered versions. If a user lives by themselves, then a powered device would be recommended as the mechanical version needs an extra person to assist with the operating.

Walk-in Bath

Walk-in baths are an excellent choice for those who prioritise safety and comfort in their bathroom design. These baths are specially designed with a door on the side, allowing for easy access without the need to step over a high edge, reducing the risk of slips and falls. Additionally, they come equipped with built-in safety features, such as handrails and non-slip flooring, to ensure maximum security while bathing. Despite the emphasis on safety, style is not compromised, as walk-in baths come in a variety of designs to suit different aesthetic preferences. Customisable options extend to the size of the bath, the type of door (inward or outward opening), and additional features such as hydrotherapy jets for an indulgent bathing experience. Walk-in baths are a testament to how innovative design can combine safety, functionality, and luxury to cater to all needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Disabled Bathrooms

How much does a disabled bathroom cost?

The cost of a disabled bathroom can vary significantly depending on the level of adaptation needed, the choice of fixtures, and the overall complexity of the project. On average, the cost can range from £6,500, for a basic adaptation, such as installing grab bars or a shower seat, to upwards of £15,000 for a complete remodel that includes a walk-in bathtub, height-adjustable sink, and other advanced features. However, these numbers are only indicative, and the actual cost could be higher or lower based on your specific requirements. We advise scheduling an initial free consultation with us so we can provide you with a more accurate estimate based on your unique needs and preferences.

How big does a disabled bathroom need to be UK?

The size of a disabled bathroom in the UK should ideally adhere to the stipulations outlined in Part M of the Building Regulations. A unisex wheelchair-accessible bathroom should have a minimum width and depth of 2200mm and 2000mm respectively, providing enough space for a wheelchair to turn. For bathrooms designed for ambulant disabled people, the minimum width should be 1500mm, with the length varying based on the layout and the fixtures installed. It's important to note, however, that these are minimum requirements and additional space may enhance comfort and ease of access. Each individual's needs can differ, and the design should be tailored to accommodate those unique requirements.

Can normal people use the disabled bathrooms that you install in homes?

Certainly, the disabled bathrooms we install are designed with universal accessibility in mind, making them suitable for all users, not just those with disabilities. While these bathrooms feature special adaptations to accommodate individuals with mobility issues, such as walk-in bathtubs or roll-in showers, they can be just as convenient and comfortable for able-bodied individuals. The design principles we apply ensure that the bathroom remains functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing for everyone. In fact, many of our clients have found that the extra space and safety features in a disabled bathroom enhance usability for all family members.

Can you accommodate individuals with special needs?

Absolutely, we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt and customise our services to suit the unique needs of every client. We are experienced in modifying bathrooms to provide safe, functional, and user-friendly environments for individuals with special needs. We can incorporate a variety of features into our bathroom designs such as walk-in tubs, wheelchair-accessible showers, grab bars, non-slip flooring, and counter heights tailored to the user's needs. We are committed to ensuring that our bathrooms are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide a high level of safety and accessibility. At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing bathroom experience.

How long does the disabled bathroom renovation process take?

The duration of the disabled bathroom renovation process can vary based on the complexity of the adaptations required and the size of your bathroom. On average, a complete renovation typically takes between three to four weeks. This timeframe includes the initial consultation, design approval, securing any necessary permits, actual construction, and the final walkthrough. Please note that this is an estimate and actual timescales can differ. At Premium Bathrooms of Wakefield, we strive to complete all projects in a timely and efficient manner, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and workmanship.

Should I choose a wet room, walk in shower or walk in bath?

The choice between a wet room, a walk-in shower, or a walk-in bath largely depends on your specific needs, preferences, and the available space in your bathroom. A wet room is fully waterproofed and offers a seamless, open-plan design, allowing for more accessibility and ease of maintenance. A walk-in shower is similar in terms of accessibility but is typically contained within a glass enclosure, keeping the water separate from the rest of the bathroom. A walk-in bath, on the other hand, is ideal for those who prefer to bathe rather than shower, and it features a door for easy access. Each option has its benefits: wet rooms and walk-in showers generally offer more space and are easier to clean, while walk-in baths provide a relaxing, spa-like experience. We can help you make an informed decision by discussing these options in relation to your specific circumstances.

Do I need to do anything before the installation begins?

Before the installation process begins, we recommend a few preparatory steps to ensure a smooth and efficient operation. First, it's advisable to clear out your existing bathroom of personal belongings and moveable fixtures. This not only allows our team to work more effectively, but also protects your items from potential damage. Additionally, it's beneficial to discuss any specific requests or concerns you may have with our team ahead of time, so we can incorporate your feedback into our work plan. Lastly, be sure to arrange alternative bathing facilities for the duration of the renovation, if feasible. Rest assured, our team will work diligently to minimise disruption and complete the project as quickly as possible.

What is accessible residential bathroom?

An accessible residential bathroom is a bathroom design that caters to individuals with disabilities or mobility challenges, ensuring that they can use the facilities safely and independently. These bathrooms are built according to specific standards and regulations that ensure easy access and use for those with limited mobility. Key features may include wider doorways for wheelchair access, grab bars for added stability, walk-in bathtubs or showers for easy access, non-slip flooring to prevent slips and falls, and sinks and countertops at an accessible height. The goal of an accessible residential bathroom is to provide a safe, convenient, and comfortable space that accommodates all users, irrespective of their physical capabilities.
