FAQs about bathroom accessories and aids

Bathing or washing aids are any pieces of equipment or mobility aids that will help you get in and out of a bath safely. Similarly, shower aids are any form of equipment that will help you safely use a shower. There are many different types of bathing aids available, so you will find something that not only fits in with the style of your bathroom but will become a long-term daily living aid that will make your bathing experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

It is best to arrange a home visit with one of Handicare’s expert team members as they will be able to look at your situation and assess your needs, making suggestions for your bathroom that you may find invaluable.

If you are looking to buy bathroom aids or you want advice or information about a particular aid, please make an enquiry and one of the Handicare advisors will be in touch.

Age UK Trading, in partnership with Handicare, offers a range of high-quality bathing aids to choose from. Expert Handicare engineers will install all of your bathing or showering models and any bathroom aids, such as a shower stool or heated towel rail.

There are a range of bathroom aids and accessories that you can buy, including aids for getting out of the bath safely. It is important to choose aids that are suitable for your bathroom and will help you to use the space. If you have limited mobility, then a shower seat or grab bars/rails are accessories you might consider, whilst heated towel rails and a glass bath screen are items that could help modernise a bathroom.

The purpose of a shower seat is to help those with limited mobility to safely access and use their showers. Sometimes, people with disabilities, or those in older age, might have reduced balance or struggle to stay standing for long periods. A shower seat can promote comfort, independence, and peace of mind.

We have two main options when it comes to our shower seats. There are freestanding options, and for those who require a further level of support, we also have wall-mounted shower seats. Our shower chairs are helpful for all sorts of situations, including those with injuries or people with reduced balance.

Those with limited mobility may understandably prefer to sit down in the shower – our range of shower seats can help facilitate this, providing a comfortable place to sit inside your shower enclosure while bathing. The right option for you will depend on your space but Handicare’s experts can help advise during a home visit.

Our shower seats are designed to be completely safe and secure in the shower. They include rubber feet at the end of the legs to provide stability and the sitting surface is designed to prevent water from pooling on the seat itself. Wall-mounted seats provide even greater support.

To help you determine whether you have room for a freestanding shower seat, taking the right measurements is important. Expert installers will arrange a free home visit, examine your shower and advise if a freestanding shower stool will fit in your space.

Every shower is different and whether a wall-mounted shower seat will be suitable for you depends on your own unique situation. Wall-mounted shower chairs can be great options for enclosed showers and one of Handcare’s expert technicians can advise on what is suitable for your shower.

Bathroom grab rails are usually metal or plastic rails that fit to the wall and provide something secure to hold on to for people who might be unsteady on their feet. Strategically placed bathroom grab rails are important safety features.

Bathroom grab rails should be installed securely into solid walls or reinforced surfaces to ensure they can safely support weight. Because wall types, tile finishes and fixing points vary, we recommend a professional assessment to make sure the rails are positioned and fitted correctly for your needs. Get in touch to arrange a home visit, and one of the team will advise on the safest placement and handle installation for you.

People with conditions that impact their balance or strength or people with limited mobility may benefit extra support in the bathroom.

Grab rails should be fitted near the toilet, bathroom sink, shower or bath, and they provide security and reassurance. There are stainless steel grab rails, but they also come in white, blue or a contemporary chrome style finish, so you will find something to compliment your décor.
