- Many many hours went into the design and fine tuning of this bathroom. It was designed by an accessibility specialist architect but we also had to make it work for my particular needs. Fine tuning, exact measurements and heights of rails etc. If something is slightly out of reach it makes things very difficult with my limited muscle control.
The people from Avail Design were champions. We couldn’t find a shower chair that suited because they were all too big or too high or too something. We contacted them and they said they would custom create one for us. After it arrived we had some technical questions and they were super helpful.

These guys are not a sponsor, they are just ace.
Note that I forgot to mention about the toilet seat.
Toilet seats often rise slightly at the back. This is bad for me as it tips my hips forward and I cannot sit up straight. We had difficulty picking a good one but got there in the end.
I love ur new shower and the sideboard below the sink. It's awesome.
So much space and a very friendly colors
Yay!! So happy your bathroom is done it looks so lovely!! It looks so much more accessible!!
Thanks! What do you think of the tile colour?
That’s a beautiful bathroom
I love it
Congratulations🙌
Thanks Elise. I have a total crush on your new bathroom, simply beautiful!!! I am just starting to plan an upgrade to mine. A couple of questions if you don't mind. Love the shower seat and how spacious it is. I have the same opportunity as I will get rid of shower+tub too. What width is the shower chair? I want the same set up for guest utility, but am thinking to have a bit wider to give me some scoot distance to keep chair out of shower spray. Love the location for your bar for shaving. I am a T10 complete and it would be useful for that task. How high up is it and width? Also love the toilet assist bar width and location. Great bare minimum utility for us and looks to be a better height than standard stuff. Just want to keep bars to bare essential. Can you tell me the height and width? Thanks!
Wow, thanks… I’m so glad you liked it. The shower chair seat is 480mmX270mm and 410mm high. Shower hand rail is 60cm high and 32cm long and the toilet hand rail is 80cm high by 20cm. But you can get all different sizes, colours and types for whatever suits you best. Feel free to ask, if you have any other questions! 😄 I am a T10 too, but incomplete (only slightly tho) I can wiggle a toe…. Not much help😂
@@freewheelingwithelise9421 Thanks. That is so helpful. I'd take a toe wiggle! Did the plan work from drawings or did you make many changes to the plan after demo and the chance to be in the general space with maybe lines drawn on floor and wall? Yikes bathrooms are not cheap. 😐
