Mobility Bathrooms
At Border Bathrooms, we specialise in creating practical, comfortable and safe bathrooms for customers with mobility needs. Whether it’s replacing a bath with an accessible shower, improving layout for easier movement, or installing suitable fixtures, we focus on making your bathroom work for you — without overcomplicating the process.
We provide a complete supply and installation service, managing everything from initial survey through to the finished bathroom, so you can be confident the job is handled properly from start to finish.
What typically qualifies
- Replacing a bath with a walk-in or low-level access shower
- Altering the layout to improve access or safety
- Installing comfort height toilets or accessible basins
- Works required to make the bathroom usable due to a condition
What usually doesn’t qualify
- General upgrades or cosmetic improvements
- Items not directly related to accessibility (e.g. designer radiators, feature lighting)
- Work that would be carried out regardless of the condition
Not every element of a project will qualify, but we clearly separate any standard-rated items and make everything transparent from the outset.
If you’d like to discuss your bathroom or check whether your project may qualify for VAT relief, feel free to get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
EXPERT BATHROOM RENOVATIONS
VAT Relief
If you’re having a bathroom adapted due to a disability or long-term health condition, you may be eligible for VAT relief on the work. This means that certain elements of your installation — such as replacing a bath with an accessible shower, improving layout for easier access, or installing suitable sanitaryware — can often be zero-rated for VAT, potentially saving you 20% on a significant portion of the project.
We’ll guide you through this process and provide a simple declaration form where applicable, ensuring everything is handled correctly and in line with HMRC rules.
