Accessibility

Bath steps can be of various heights to suit how you access your bath and some come with rail attached to the side to give you added hand held support or cork board tops to provide secure footing.

Things to consider:

· It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure this equipment is secure.

· Weight restrictions apply.

· Depending on the height of your bath and your mobility you may want a step with more than one level and to have additional grab rails to help you step down into the bath.

· Steps should not cause a trip hazard in the bathroom.

Benefits:

· A step helps you get in and out of the bath.

· A rail gives you something to hold to help you step into the bath.

· A rail helps you to move the step if you have difficult bending down.

Top Tips:

· There are numerous suppliers to choose from. An Amazon search for bathroom equipment will bring up equipment suppliers. Or you can search for specific items.

· Compare prices for the same equipment on different websites; some may be on sale or special offer.

· Search for customer reviews for specific equipment and suppliers, particularly for more expensive items.
