Accessible & Disabled Bathroom Adaptations in Reading

What Are Accessible Bathroom Adaptations?

Accessible adaptations range from minor adjustments to full bathroom redesigns aimed at making the space safer and easier to use. This includes installing grab rails, non-slip flooring, and raised toilet seats, right through to comprehensive changes like level-access wet rooms, walk-in baths, and lowered vanity units. These adaptations benefit elderly residents, individuals with mobility challenges, and anyone looking to future-proof their home.

Our Accessible Bathroom Adaptation Services

We install walk-in baths featuring low-entry doors and slip-resistant surfaces. These are ideal for those who prefer a bath but struggle with stepping over a standard tub edge. We handle all plumbing connections and sealing.

We create showers with absolutely no threshold or step. By grading the floor and fully waterproofing the room, we provide a safe, spacious, and wheelchair-accessible showering experience.

We securely install fixed, folding, horizontal, and angled grab rails. Crucially, our in-house carpenters ensure rails are anchored safely into studs or reinforced walls, not just screwed into fragile tiles.

We fit comfort-height WCs and adjust basin and vanity unit heights to accommodate seated users or wheelchair access, ensuring everyday tasks are comfortable and strain-free.

We supply and install highly rated slip-resistant flooring, including textured tiles and specialist safety vinyl, which perform exceptionally well in wet rooms and accessible bathrooms.

We install both folding and fixed shower seats with high weight ratings. Our team ensures they are securely fitted to reinforced walls for absolute safety during use.

If wheelchair access is required, our in-house carpentry team can widen bathroom doorways, adjust architraves, and install easy-to-use sliding or outward-opening doors.

Why Professional Accessible Bathroom Installation Matters

Safety in an accessible bathroom is paramount. A grab rail or shower seat fitted incorrectly into a tiled wall without finding the structural stud or using the correct anchors is incredibly dangerous. Accessible adaptations must be carried out by experienced tradespeople who understand load-bearing requirements, positioning, and safety standards. Because Goodman & Son handles all trades in-house, nothing is left to chance. Our carpenters reinforce the walls, our plumbers ensure safe water temperatures with thermostatic valves, and our tilers lay proper non-slip surfaces. We deliver peace of mind.
