A safer shower, withoutrebuilding the room.
Small changes that make the shower you already have safe to use. Measured and quoted on site across Victoria and New South Wales.
The shower is wherepeople fall.
The floor is wet, your feet are bare, and you are turning and reaching at the same time. Many of the falls we hear about happen in or next to the shower.
The good news is that most showers can be made safe without rebuilding the room. A rail, a seat, a hand shower, or a lower entry can make a big difference. Most of it is done in one or two visits.
Which changedo you need?
Most showers need two or three of these. Choose one to find out more.
Grab rails
Something firm to hold as you step in, wash, and step out.
Shower seats
A seat that folds down when you need it and up out of the way when you don’t.
Hand showers
A shower head on a hose, so you can shower sitting down, or a carer can help.
Shower base inserts
A raised base that sits on your shower floor and takes away the step in. It lifts out again.
Shower curtains and tracks
A curtain instead of a glass door, so the shower opens wide for a chair or a carer.
Other bathroom parts
Hooks, holders, baskets, and brackets, placed where you can reach them from a seat.

We start withhow you shower.
Every shower, and every person, is different. On the visit, we watch how you get in, where you reach, and whether you shower sitting or standing.
Then we suggest the two or three changes that will help most, and nothing you don’t need. Rails and seats are fixed into the solid wall behind the tiles, never into the tiles alone.
More ways to makeyour bathroom safer.
Taps and hot water
Lever taps you can turn with a closed hand, and hot water that can’t scald.
Non-slip floors
Grip on the floor you already have, without replacing a tile.
Modular grab rails
Rails that turn corners, for showers where a standard rail won’t fit.
Rubber ramps
For a small lip at the bathroom door, with nothing to build.
How itworks.
Home visit
We look at your shower and how you use it, and suggest what will help most.
A clear, fixed quote
You get a written price, set out so your plan manager, case manager, or occupational therapist can approve it easily.
Fitted in one or two visits
Seats, hand showers, and rails are usually fitted in one visit. Items made to measure, like a base insert, need a second.
Backed by warranty
All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.

Honest advice

When the room itselfis the problem.
Sometimes rails and seats are not enough. The step in may be too high, the floor may slope the wrong way, or there may be no room to turn. Then you need a new, accessible bathroom.
We do both, and we will tell you honestly on the visit which one you need.
