The challenge
Mrs W. approached our team regarding her bathroom adaptation having had a positive experience troubleshooting a shower issue in different room. The brief was that she wanted something unique and stylish, that also did not look like a typical accessible bathroom. Planning ahead she wanted herself and other people staying at her property to be able to enjoy their bathing experience in future regardless of their flexibility and mobility.
The solution
After completing a free home visit we proposed some configuration changes to the bathroom which included the removal of the standard bath, replacing it with a level-access shower tray and Mira Select Flex Thermo Mixer. Unfortunately due to restrictions in the client’s lease agreement we were not able to carry out works below the current floor level, so we agreed with Mrs W. that a low-level shower tray would be the next best solution.
In collaboration with Mrs W. we also specified a wall-mounted Impey Slimfold shower seat, chrome towel rail and a large and glamorous mirror with integrated lighting. We also adjusted the depth of the exterior facing wall, allowing the WC waste pipes to be hidden, which maintained the maximum possible space within the fitted units.
The outcome
The new accessible shower room installation ran smoothly. The teal metro tiles were slightly more challenging to source than expected, but this did not delay the overall project times scales. This stunning colour combined with the contemporary white basin vanity, additional white storage, white grab handles and white anti-slip flooring strikes the perfect balance resulting in a clean functional design and with a real sense of style.
