Accessible & mobility bathrooms in south London
Level-access showers, walk-in baths and adapted bathrooms that look like bathrooms, not wards.
An accessible bathroom conversion in south London costs £4,500–£9,500 excluding VAT depending on how much adaptation is needed — from a level-access shower with grab rails at the lower end to a full wetroom with a shower seat, comfort-height WC and widened door at the top. Done well, it looks like a modern bathroom that happens to be easy to use, and Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £30,000 exist for those who qualify.

Accessible bathrooms — what people ask
How much does an accessible bathroom cost?
£4,500 to £9,500 excluding VAT in south London. A bath-to-level-access-shower conversion with rails and a seat sits at the lower end; a full adapted wetroom with widened access at the top. If the person qualifies, a Disabled Facilities Grant — means-tested, administered by your borough — can fund up to £30,000 of adaptation, and our quotes are formatted to satisfy grant paperwork.
Read the full answerWhat is a Disabled Facilities Grant and can I get one?
A means-tested council grant of up to £30,000 in England for adaptations that a person with a disability needs to use their home — level-access showers are the most common award. You apply through your borough (Croydon, Bromley, Lewisham and the rest all run schemes), usually following an occupational therapist assessment. It takes months, not weeks, so start the application before the bathroom becomes urgent. Children's applications are not means-tested.
Read the full answerCan an accessible bathroom still look like a normal bathroom?
Yes — this is most of what we are asked for. Grab rails now come in matt black and brushed brass rather than hospital white; shower seats fold flat to the wall; level-access floors read as a design choice because upmarket hotels made wetrooms aspirational. The clinical look comes from buying everything from a mobility catalogue; specifying from mainstream ranges with the right fixing points behind the wall avoids it entirely.
Read the full answerDo you work with occupational therapists?
Routinely. Where an OT has assessed the user we build to their specification — seat height, rail positions, transfer space — and we ask for the OT report at survey stage so the quote matches it line by line. Where there is no OT involved but the needs are clear, we position rails and seats with the user present at a walkthrough before tiling, because a rail 50mm wrong is a rail that does not get used.
