Recent Projects

We aim to make the installation of your new bath, shower or lift as stress free as possible. Whether we are working in a hospital, a care home or a private dwelling, our project managers and installers make every effort to keep disruption and discomfort to an absolute minimum. Shown below is a selection of projects which demonstrate just some of our capabilities.

Mrs H in Reading
One of our more unusual jobs was to convert an outhouse into a shower room. The walls were panelled with insulation behind, a new ceiling was installed and anti-slip flooring fitted. Mrs H was delighted and has since recommended us to her neighbour for a walk in bath.

Special Needs Centre in Ickenham
The existing power bath was broken, so the centre opted to upgrade to a new rise-lower bath. The walls were retiled and anti-slip flooring replaced before installing the bath. Staff can now bathe their patients easily and comfortably without bending over.

Mr and Mrs J in Gloucestershire
Mrs J was experiencing painful hips, making bathing almost impossible. Mr J, however, was perfectly fit. We proposed a Cambridge Plus bath, which features an entry door and a removable powered seat. Mrs J could use the door and lift, whilst Mr J could quickly remove the seat by pressing two buttons and use the bath as normal.

Mr and Mrs B in Kent
Mrs B suffered from motorneurone disease and could not use a normal bath. The existing bathroom had been recently refurbished to a very high standard, and the job was to adapt it for disabled use without spoiling the overall effect. Great care was taken to fit this substantial bath without disturbing the existing décor.

Mrs P in Surrey
Mrs P had emphysema which made bathing problematic. She decided to remove the bath and rearrange the bathroom to include an easy access shower with fold down seat. The whole room was retiled and anti slip vinyl flooring fitted.

Mrs M in Harrow
Arthritis and a hip operation had left Mrs M unable to use the bath in her new flat. It was decided to replace the bath with an easy access shower, keeping as much of the original tiling and décor in place. Due to the concrete floor, a waste suction pump was used to take waste water away above ground.
