Wheelchair Accessible Wet Room Installation in Boars Hill, Oxfordshire
Creating a safer, level-access showering space to make everyday personal care easier for a wheelchair user and their full-time carer.
When we were contacted by a client in Boars Hill, Oxfordshire, their existing shower was no longer suitable for their needs.
The client was a wheelchair user and had a full-time carer who helped with their daily personal care. The existing shower tray and enclosure had become impractical, making it increasingly difficult for the carer to provide the assistance needed.
The solution was to transform the existing shower area into a fully accessible wet room, providing level access and more practical space for assisted showering.
Understanding the challenges
The main priority was to create a showering area that could be accessed without having to negotiate a shower tray.
The existing enclosure restricted the available space and made assisted showering more difficult. By removing the enclosure and converting the area into a wet room, we could create a more open and accessible environment.
We wanted to make the space safer, easier to maintain and more practical for both the client and their carer.

Completed in just one week
The installation was completed over the course of one week.
We understand how important bathroom facilities are, particularly when someone relies on a carer for their daily personal care. We therefore aimed to complete the work efficiently while ensuring the finished wet room met the client's practical requirements.
Both the client and their son were really happy with the finished result.
The bathroom transformation
To create the new wet room, we carried out a complete refurbishment of the existing shower area.
The work included:
Removing the existing shower enclosure and low-level shower tray.
Taking up the existing floor to allow the new wet room floor to be installed.
Installing new Altro slip-resistant safety flooring, complete with an upstand.
Fitting shower wall panels to create a practical, easy-to-clean showering area.
Installing a new shower and shower screen.
Adding a shower curtain to provide flexibility and help accommodate assisted showering.
The new level-access arrangement removed the need to step over or negotiate a shower tray, creating a much more suitable space for wheelchair access and assistance from the carer.
