Accessible Bathroom Renovation in Winchester

The project

The original bathroom had a bath with an overhead shower. For someone who finds stepping over the side of a bath difficult, that arrangement can make a daily routine more demanding than it needs to be.

For this accessible bathroom renovation in Winchester, THT replaced the bath with a spacious walk-in shower. The aim was to make the room easier and more comfortable to use while giving it a fresh, modern finish.

Making the shower easier to use

The new shower has a low-profile tray and a clear glass screen, creating a more open space than the previous bath and curtain. Grab rails provide places to hold for support, and a shower seat offers the option to sit while washing.

The shower fittings include both an overhead shower and a handheld attachment. Together with the seating and rails, these details give the person using the bathroom more choice in how they shower.

A bathroom that feels like home

Practical fittings were an important part of the refurbishment, but so was the appearance of the finished room. Marble-effect wall panels give the shower a clean, contemporary look, while the dark wood-effect flooring adds warmth and contrast. The clear screen lets light travel through the space and keeps the bathroom feeling open.

The change is significant: a bathroom previously arranged around a bath is now centred on a shower designed with easier access in mind.

The finished result

This project shows how an accessible bathroom can be tailored to everyday needs without losing its sense of style. The new layout brings together a low-profile shower, seating and grab rails in a room that still feels personal and welcoming.

If adaptations are needed because of a disability, you may be able to apply to your local council for a Disabled Facilities Grant.
