Accessible bathrooms
Walk-in showers and accessible bathrooms in Beechwood
In Beechwood, many family homes have one bathroom that has to work for everyone, including older relatives.
We can design a bathroom that is easier to use but still suits the whole household. Residents can ask Halton Borough Council about adaptation grants.
Options for your bathroom
- Walk-in showers — A shower you can step straight into, with a low or level threshold instead of a bath edge.
- Wet rooms — A fully tiled, level floor that drains away water — no tray or step at all.
- Level access — Removing steps and lips so a walking frame or wheelchair can move freely.
- Grab rails — Rails placed where you actually need support: by the toilet, in the shower and at the basin.
- Comfort-height toilets — A slightly taller toilet that is easier to sit down on and stand up from.
- Thermostatic showers — Controls that keep the water at a steady, safe temperature.

Questions from Beechwood
Can you replace my bath with a walk-in shower?
This is something we can look at during a free design visit. We'll measure up and show you what would fit in your bathroom.
Can I get help paying for an accessible bathroom?
Some people can get a Disabled Facilities Grant from their local council. Eligibility is decided by the council, not by us. See our plain-English guide to how it works.
Can I enquire on behalf of my mum or dad?
Yes. Many enquiries come from sons, daughters and carers. Just tick “I'm enquiring for someone else” on the enquiry form.
I'm hard of hearing — do I have to phone?
No. You can enquire in writing and choose “Text me back”, so you never need to take a phone call.
