Accessible bathrooms: Showrooms in Edinburgh and Glasgow with large range, design and fitting

When the smallest room of the house is no longer fit for purpose, it’s time to rethink and create the accessible, usable, beautiful bathroom of your dreams.

There’s one Scottish company which has advised, designed and fitted thousands of fully-accessible beautiful bathrooms and wet rooms across Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Even the smallest space in a house has potential– it could be in the downstairs loo, under-the-stairs cupboard, or in a neat en-suite in the bedroom, a walk-in shower can be created.

At the Bathing Mobility Advisory Service (BMAS) professional and friendly advisors are on hand to talk you through the options, show you some of the latest products on the market and work with you to create the bathroom you and your family need.

Are you struggling with your bathroom?

There’s one room of the house which always gets used, and that’s the bathroom or loo. But it can be one of the trickiest for anyone with mobility issues, or someone who is just finding age is making it more difficult to get around.

Climbing in and out of the bath, getting up and down off the toilet, turning stiff taps on and off or worrying about slipping in the shower can make your daily wash routine into a chore, if not a health hazard!

Whether everyone in the house could do with a bathroom that’s easier, and safer to use, or you’re looking for a multi-generational or multi-ability bathroom, BMAS can help.

Wet rooms vs walk in showers

When it comes to choosing a wet room or a walk-in shower the choice might depend on personal preference or what will fit best for the shape and size of your room and what you need it to do.

BMAS can advise on all your options, and at the showrooms you’ll be able to see, touch and peruse a wide range of choices.

You could go for tiles or wall boards. Wall boards have come a long way and modern wall coverings come in an astonishing range of styles, designs, colours and textures. Some can look like luxurious marble, stone or wooden style tiles.

Walk-in showers mean you don’t have a door to open, the clever design means you can walk right in at the same level as the bathroom floor, but the water doesn’t spill out. With textured shower floors there will be no need to wrestle with a rubber anti-slip mat either.

A wet room means you can get the whole floor wet, a very gentle – almost un-noticeable – slope means the water simply flows down out of the drain.

Either option will be easy to navigate and to keep clean.

Wet rooms and walk in showers can all be fitted with grab and support rails in a variety of contemporary designs and materials and BMAS has a wide choice of waterproof shower seats in a variety of styles and colours, that can be folded away easily when not in use.

Luxury loos

Technology comes to the toilet! For anyone who has difficulty getting on and off the loo a toilet fitted higher up the wall is a simple answer. But these days you can get loos with seats that go up and down at the touch of a button, you can even get heated seats and integrated bidet and shower facilities to ensure you’re hygienically clean too.

Top taps

No more struggling with stiff taps to turn on and off. BMAS can show you a wide range of tap fittings which you can control easily with push up and down (or side to side) levers. Not only are they easy to use, but they look stylish too and come in a range of finishes to complement your design and taste.

And with washing basins suitable for the smallest space to the grandest bathroom, with inbuilt storage (and designs which can include no sharp edges in case of falls) you’ll be able to find the perfect one for you.

Designed and fitted

Not only will BMAS be able to help you by finding out what you need, checking the space you have, and talking through the options, but they’ll be able to design and fit everything too with no mess and no fuss.
