Level-access wet rooms, walk-in showers and mobility bathrooms designed to luxury standard — safe, dignified and future-proof, with the support built in elegantly rather than bolted on. Fully tanked, slip-safe and warranted, designed and built by one team under one fixed-price contract.
The old image of an accessible bathroom — white plastic, institutional chrome rails, a clinical feel — puts people off adapting a home they love until a crisis forces it. It does not have to be that way. A well-designed accessible bathroom is, first and foremost, a beautiful bathroom: elegant tiling and stone, designer brassware, considered lighting. The accessibility is built in so discreetly that it reads as good design, not medical equipment.
This page is for the accessible bathroom, the mobility bathroom, the level-access wet room and the walk-in shower — designed to luxury standard and built to last. As a design-and-build contractor, we deliver the whole thing under one fixed-price contract: the design, the level-access drainage and full waterproof tanking, the reinforced fixings, the slip-safe flooring and underfloor heating, and the finish. It is the same quality as our bathroom renovations and wet rooms — with accessibility woven through.
The single most important principle is to design for dignity. Support is integrated, not bolted on: grab rails that double as towel rails and match the brassware, a shower seat that folds discreetly away, comfort-height sanitaryware that simply looks contemporary, and a level-access shower that reads as a sleek wet room rather than a concession. Done this way, the bathroom works beautifully for an active person today, supports them as needs change, and never feels like a loss.
It is also about doing the invisible things properly. A level-access wet room only works if it is fully tanked, the floor falls are correct and the slip-resistant flooring is rated for the job — otherwise it leaks into the room below or becomes a hazard. Grab rails only protect someone if they are fixed to reinforced backing built into the wall, not screwed into plasterboard. These are the details that separate a safe, lasting accessible bathroom from a risky one, and they are exactly where we focus.
We design and build accessible bathrooms across NW3, NW8, NW11, N6 and SW London — in family homes future-proofing for later life, in granny annexes, and for clients adapting around a specific need, often working alongside an occupational therapist's recommendations.
The right level of provision depends on current and likely future needs. These are the six we design most, each finished to luxury standard.
Fully tanked, with the shower draining through the floor — no tray, no step, no threshold. Walk or wheel straight in. The most accessible and, done well, the most beautifully minimal bathroom of all.
A large walk-in shower with a very low or flush threshold and a glass screen, alongside the rest of the bathroom — the easiest upgrade where a full wet room is not needed, removing the awkward step into a tray or over a bath.
Generous turning space, a wheel-in shower, wall-hung or height-adjustable sanitaryware and clear transfer space beside the WC — designed to full accessible principles for independent wheelchair use.
Designed for a carer to assist safely — space either side of the WC and shower, robust support rails, a fold-down seat and provision for a mobile or ceiling-track hoist where required.
Discreet grab rails, comfort-height WC and basin, a walk-in shower and thermostatic, anti-scald controls — subtle support for someone steady on their feet but who wants confidence and safety. Looks like any contemporary bathroom.
A beautiful family bathroom built with the hidden provision for accessibility — reinforced walls, level-access-ready drainage, generous space — so adaptations can be added later without ripping the room out. Forward-thinking, invisible today.
Accessibility is in the detail and the things you cannot see. Every element below is delivered and warranted under one fixed-price agreement.
A layout designed around the mobility needs of the user — turning space, clear transfer zones, reachable everything — while looking like a contemporary luxury bathroom. We can work to an occupational therapist's recommendations where you have them.
A step-free shower draining through the floor, with the substrate built up and the falls formed correctly so water runs cleanly to the outlet — the trip hazard of a tray and lip removed entirely.
The entire wet zone tanked to BS standards before tiling — the waterproof envelope that makes a level-access wet room watertight. Done properly, it never leaks into the room below; this is the most important hidden detail of all.
Flooring rated for wet, accessible areas — slip-resistant when wet, comfortable underfoot and attractive — laid to the correct falls in the shower zone and level elsewhere.
Grab rails and shower seats fixed to reinforced backing built into the walls during construction — able to take a person's full weight. Colour-matched and styled so they double as towel rails, not medical fittings.
WC and basin at heights that are easier to use, wall-hung where it helps cleaning and wheelchair access, from designer ranges so they read as contemporary rather than clinical.
Thermostatic shower and tap controls that hold a safe, steady temperature and prevent scalding — with easy-to-use lever handles — an essential safety feature for older and less able users.
Gentle, even underfloor heating that keeps the floor warm and dry underfoot — comfortable, safer than wet cold tiles, and with no hot radiator surfaces to lean against.
Widened doorsets, outward or sliding doors where space is tight, and clear approach and turning space — so the room is genuinely usable with a frame or wheelchair, not just nominally accessible.
Bright, even, glare-free lighting with good contrast between surfaces — important for users with limited vision — plus illuminated mirrors and considered ambient light for a calm, safe room.
Beautiful tiling, stone and finishes to the standard of any luxury bathroom — because accessible does not mean compromised. The room should be one you are proud to show, not one you apologise for.
A two-stage snag, a wet-test of the tanking, a 12-month defects period, a 10-year workmanship warranty and a six-month service visit.
An accessible bathroom should give confidence and independence without ever feeling like a loss. These are the six principles behind every one we design.
Support integrated as good design — rails that match the brassware, seats that fold away, comfort-height fittings that simply look contemporary. A bathroom you would choose for its looks alone.
Removing the trip hazards — the shower lip, the bath edge, the threshold — with level access designed and tanked properly, the single biggest reduction in everyday risk.
Flooring rated for wet accessible use, correct falls, and grab support exactly where a person reaches for it — safety engineered in, not assumed.
Controls, storage, towels and the shower all within easy reach from standing or seated — so the room supports independence rather than requiring help.
Backing built into the walls for rails, seats and future hoists, so support is fixed to structure, not plasterboard — and can be added later without ripping out tiles.
Built for needs that may grow — provision for more support, a hoist, a wheel-in layout — so the bathroom serves the long term, not just today.
A bathroom adapted around real needs rewards a careful, considerate process.
We discuss the user's needs — current and likely future — and your hopes for the look of the room. Where you have an occupational therapist's report, we work from it. No charge, no obligation.

What an accessible bathroom costs depends on the level of access and the finish. Here is how our four tiers differ.
For a representative level-access wet room at around £22,000, here is the honest breakdown of where every pound is spent.
An accessible bathroom is safe because of what is done beneath the tiles. Here is what is designed and installed.
Where an accessible bathroom is needed for a disability, there is support available and standards worth designing to — and we are glad to work within them.
If the bathroom is being adapted for someone with a disability, you may be eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) from your local council towards the cost. These are usually awarded following an occupational therapist's assessment of the person's needs, and are means-tested, with the amount and eligibility varying by authority. We are happy to design and specify the works to align with an OT's recommendations and to provide the detailed, itemised quotation councils require — though the grant application itself is made by you through your local authority, and we always recommend confirming eligibility before committing.
Beyond grants, we design to recognised accessibility standards — the principles of Building Regulations Part M (M4(2) accessible and adaptable, and M4(3) wheelchair-accessible) — and to the practical guidance occupational therapists use, so the bathroom genuinely works for the person who will rely on it rather than just ticking a box. Where you already have an OT involved, we collaborate directly with them on rail positions, transfer spaces and equipment.
If the accessible bathroom is part of creating independent accommodation for a relative, our granny annexe page covers the wider project; if it is part of a whole-home adaptation, see house renovation. For an early budget on the bathroom itself, use the cost calculator or simply get in touch to talk it through.
