Accessible Bathrooms – Baths

Copper bath boards are designed to make bathing safer and more relaxing for people whose levels of mobility and strength are compromised, but have not yet declined to a severe degree. Available in a variety of materials, styles and widths; bath boards enable the user to enter a standard bath from a sitting position, unaided. By removing the need to step into a standard bath from standing, a bath board can help reduce the risk of slips, falls and accidents in the bathroom.

A secure seat that lies flat across the top of the bath, whilst bath boards do not provide back support, bath seats are an affordable and effective solution for those who are able to swing their legs over the side of the bath into a seated position, but are unsteady when standing.

Another effective choice for a safer, more comfortable bathing experience, the Copper bath seat is similar to the bath board solution, in that it assists the user into a standard bath from a seated level. Positioned within the bath, the seat has 4 slip free and sturdy feet to minimise accidents; and can be used in a standard bath,  or in an over bath shower, too.

Available in a variety of styles, bath seats are largely inexpensive and a quick and effective solution for accessible bathing. Bath seat options also include swivel seats, or seats featuring holes within the design (similar to a commode) to ensure ultimate accessibility and comfort during bathing, for all.

Available in a variety of styles and integrated technologies, our range of Copper bath lifts make bathing, in a standard bath, safer and more convenient for those with lower levels of mobility. Bath lifts consist of a seated aid that raises and lowers an individual in and out of a standard bath, whilst also providing a comfortable and secure seated position whilst bathing.

Bath lifts are most suited to those who are able to sit on the edge of a standard bath, and can raise their legs to swivel onto the seated aid. Bath lifts do not require a great deal of installation or expense, and are a great solution for those who require a small amount of support getting in and out of a standard bath.

At Copper, we have a full range of grab rail options suitable for a variety of accessible bathroom designs, and also around the home. Grab rails are particularly useful pieces of equipment, and hugely improve bathroom safety for those who are unsteady on their feet, or have low levels of mobility. Securely attached to the wall,  our Copper grab rails are available in a wide range of styles and finishes; making clinical white medical rails a thing of the past.

Bath hoists raise your body from above, rather than lifting the user from below; making them the perfect solution for individuals with severe levels of mobility impairment, as the entire weight transfer into the bath is performed by the hoist. Copper bath hoists can be fixed securely to either the floor or a ceiling, and work by lifting the user high enough so that they need not lift their own legs over the bath rim. Available in manual and powered electric options; the latter enables greater levels of independence for those with motor difficulties.

When the use of a standard bath is simply not feasible, or your current bath aids are not truly benefitting your accessibility needs or bathroom set up; a Copper walk-in bath may be the solution you require. Walk-in baths are a standard bath tub with a specially adapted water-tight door, so that individuals can walk into the bath over a much lower threshold, and out again afterwards. This feature eliminates the need to lift your legs over the rim of the bath, and is an ideal bathing solution for those suffering from compromised knee and hip mobility.
