While the bathroom is one of the most important rooms in a home – it’s also a space where preventable accidents frequently happen. If you’re unsteady on your feet, the bathroom can feel like an unsafe place. At Perth TLC Group, it’s our goal to enhance your sense of security, with just a few impactful bathroom safety solutions. These include, but are not limited to:
Slip-Resistant Solutions
Older or polished floor tiles can be slippery when wet. We can apply a grip coating to your existing tiles, to maintain the aesthetic you know and love – or replace them for improved safety.
Shower Accessibility
Glass shower screens can restrict access and pose challenges for carers providing assistance. We offer solutions such as replacing these screens with weighted curtains or smaller panels to enhance accessibility. High shower steps can also be hazardous; we can lower them with a shower hob reduction or replace them with rubber kerbs to safely contain water.
Bathtub to Shower Conversions
For those with showers over bathtubs, we can convert the space into a full shower, eliminating any tripping hazards.
Shower Chairs and Handheld Showers
Shower chairs can greatly enhance stability and comfort (who doesn’t love a sit down shower?). We install handheld showers that can be mounted to a safety grab rail, providing adjustable height for both seated and standing use.
Accessible Tapware + Toilets
For those with hand dexterity issues, we can replace old tapware with mixer or lever turn taps for easier use and improved functionality. Additionally, raised toilets and toilet safety rails can assist with safe and comfortable transitions.
Water Temperature Control
For our aging clients – especially those with dementia, we can install special devices to safely limit water temperature and prevent scalding.
Door Modifications
We can convert hinged doors to sliding doors for better access, and in some cases, even widen doorways to improve overall accessibility for a wheelchair, walker or frame.
Depending on your bathroom layout and construction, renovation opportunities may be explored to suit modification requirements and enhance safety, accessibility, and space. See our Bathroom Modifications for more details.
