Creating beautifully designed bathrooms for seniors in and around Bayside, Melbourne
Here at Peter Conlan Bathrooms, we specialise in designing, building, and renovating senior friendly bathrooms. We work in and around in Melbourne’s City of Bayside.
Call Peter to discuss your bathroom needs and situation. He will be able to work with you to suggest the most appropriate modifications and fittings. This could involve adding grab rails, bath boards, a shower seat, or a raised toilet seat, as well as creating a layout that is wheelchair-accessible or even installing a complete wet room.
By installing grab bars and non-slip surfaces, renovating the shower, or elevating the height of the toilet, it is possible to significantly increase safety in bathrooms for seniors.
Working closely with you, Peter and his team will develop an innovative and practical accessible bathroom design that prioritises independence, safety, and comfort in your own home.

SAFE WALK IN SHOWERS
Walk in showers can help make you feel safe and secure.
With a custom built bathroom you can decide what best fits your needs, whether it be more space, fitted wall seats or wall grabs.
GRAB RAIL INSTALLATION
Installing grab rails in bathrooms can help those with limited mobility or who are at risk of falling. We install designer grab rails, to fit the look of your current bathroom.
SHOWER SEAT INSTALLATION
Built in shower seats are a great option to help people with limited mobility or disabilities. They can help have a secure place to rest and shower with dignity.
TOILET RAIL INSTALLATIONS
Angled grab rail complements modern bathroom designs with its minimalist styling. They can be placed next to toilets, showers and baths.
SLIP RESISTANT FLOORS
Is your exisiting bathroom floor slippery? Chat to us today to find out some different options for creating a slip resistant surface.
Improving the safety of your bathroom can be achieved by making the floor slip-resistant. We offer tile installation services with a variety of finishes, including non-slip options that are particularly important for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and shower areas.
Non-slip tiles typically have an abrasive grip that is added during the manufacturing process, or the surface may be textured to provide friction and grip even when wet. This crucial safety feature helps prevent slips and falls in wet environments.

How can I increase bathroom accessibility?
When it comes to enhancing safety and accessibility in the bathroom, grab bars are an excellent and simple solution to address many concerns. They provide essential support for people with disabilities as they navigate around the bathroom, ensuring safe access to the bathtub, shower, and toilet without the risk of falls. Another effective option to prevent falls is the use of non-slip rugs and flooring.
Non-slip mats in the tub or around the shower, toilet, and sink can significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls in areas where water is present. Additionally, investing in more accessible bathing options can be highly beneficial for those with limited mobility.
Whether it is a walk-in or roll-in tub, a portable shower, or the addition of a shower chair, these options help individuals maintain their independence while bathing.
By taking these precautions, the bathroom can be made more accessible and safe for everyone.
What are the hazards in the bathroom for seniors?
The bathroom can be a hazardous place, particularly for individuals with limited mobility or disabilities. Some common hazards include slippery surfaces, absence of grab bars, difficulty in reaching items, and lack of accessible shower or toilet stalls. These hazards can make it challenging for people with mobility issues to use the bathroom safely and independently.
To ensure safe access to a bathroom, it is crucial to prioritise safety awareness and precautionary measures. By proactively creating a safe and accessible environment, potential anxieties and concerns can be mitigated, providing peace of mind for users.
