Before

The old bathroom, where the raised lip of the shower tray was getting harder to step over.

After

The same room now: a low-level shower with grab rails and a fold-down seat, and barely anything to step over.
The story

How Maya's bathroom got safer

1
The challenge

A lip that grew taller every year

Maya’s shower had a high lip tray, and stepping over it safely was becoming harder. The rest of the room worked well enough, so the answer was not a full rebuild, just the right one.

Our solution

The right change, not the biggest one

We replaced the old shower with a low-level walk-in shower, added grab rails and a fold-down seat, and fitted a thermostatic shower and taps to keep the water temperature steady. A new basin and toilet freshened the room, while the heated towel rail stayed put, because it still did its job perfectly well.

The result

Confidence at every step

Maya’s bathroom is now spacious, modern and safer every day. The low entry means she can shower with confidence, and the room is set up to stay easy to use for years to come.
