Disabled Bathroom Adaptations in Tunstall
Fully tanked, level-access wet rooms for accessibility or premium spec.
We fit accessible bathrooms and wet rooms across Tunstall for private clients, OT-led adaptations and Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) projects.
Every adaptation starts with the user, not the room. We work to OT or BSO specs where required, but we'll also help families plan privately when waiting lists are long.
We've fitted wet-room conversion in Tunstall long enough to know the houses inside out.

Disabled Bathroom Adaptations FAQs — Tunstall
- Do you work to OT specifications in Tunstall?
- Yes — we install to occupational therapist specs regularly across Tunstall, including grab-rail heights, shower-seat reach zones, and level-access falls.
- Can a wet room be retrofitted into an upstairs Tunstall bathroom?
- In most cases yes. We check the joists and waste run, lay a wet-floor former between joists, then tank and tile. We'll flag any structural concerns at the survey.
- Will I lose the bath if I switch to an accessible wet room?
- Usually yes — the bath gives way to the level-access shower zone. If you'd like to keep some bathing option we can spec a walk-in bath instead.
- Do you fit grab rails and shower seats?
- Yes. We carry Doc M-compliant ranges and can colour-match rails to suit. Seats are fixed into solid noggins, not just plasterboard.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Tunstall home liveable while the work runs.
- How quickly can you start a job in Tunstall?
- Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
