Adapt your bathroom not your life with WD Bathrooms

March 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Mark Wilson, director of WD Bathrooms, one of the largest bathroom retailers online said “We speak to many customers who have decided to revamp their bathrooms ready for retirement. Baths are being replaced with walk in showers and adjustable showers are replacing fixed shower heads for personal washing.

People tend to think that their bathroom will be sufficient as they get older as many of us do not want to think about the possibility of ill health or mobility issues that may occur. If this is left it is often a family member who has the task of renovating the bathroom for their elderly relative. Adapting a bathroom doesn’t have to be clinical and white, as we often think when it comes to care, it can be welcoming and comfortable for the user.

Walk in shower panels which combined with a low profile shower tray creates an easy access showering area. The original bath size which is usually 1700mm x 700mm means that walk in showers are ideal due to their available sizes. Slimline shower trays which feature a 40mm profile means that the user has low level access, ideal for mobility issues. Shower seats are often incorporated so that they can have a comfortable seating place when showering. Similar to a wet room design but more affordable, this is a popular option for many UK bathrooms. This adaptation has proved to be a success to stick within the budget and adapt the bathroom as required.

Mark Wilson told us “Adaptation of any bathroom is the best way to make sure that the quality of life for the elderly person is acceptable. We offer a range of walk in showers which cater for this market. We always make sure that functionality and quality can be combined to create the dream bathroom that they deserve.”
