Walk-in showers and accessible bathrooms on the Central Coast

Many Central Coast homeowners want a bathroom they can stay in as they get older. A step-free shower, non-slip tiles and good lighting make daily life easier.

If the work is for NDIS or aged-care funding, tell the businesses up front so they can quote in the format your provider needs.

What's usually involved

• Removing a bath or shower hob and forming a hobless shower
• Non-slip floor tiles with correct falls
• Grab rails fixed into solid blocking
• Wider doorways or a new door that opens out
• Raised-height toilet and an easy-reach vanity

What changes the price

• Structural changes such as widening a door
• Whether the floor needs lowering
• A fold-down seat or hand-held shower
• Specialist fittings

Check before you say yes

• Do they have experience with accessible bathrooms?
• Will the layout work for your mobility needs now and later?
• Is any funding approval needed before work begins?
