Make Your Bathroom Safer, More Comfortable, and Easier to Use
Your bathroom should work for you at every stage of life.
Whether you are planning ahead for aging in place, adapting a bathroom for a loved one, or making changes because of limited mobility, Total Bath Systems can help create a space that feels safer and easier to use without sacrificing comfort or style.
Bathroom accessibility can take many forms. For some homeowners, it may mean eliminating a high tub wall. For others, it may mean adding a seat, grab bars, easier-to-reach fixtures, or more room to maneuver with a walker or wheelchair. The right solution depends on how you use the bathroom today and what will make it work better for you in the future.
Total Bath Systems offers a range of accessible bathroom remodeling options throughout Connecticut, including walk-in tubs, barrier-free and low-threshold showers, grab bars, seating, and other modifications designed to support greater independence
Bathroom Accessibility Products
Tub Cut-Throughs
A traditional bathtub can become difficult to enter when stepping over the side is uncomfortable or unsafe. A tub cut-through modifies the existing tub wall to create a lower entry point, making it easier to step into and out of the bathing area.
For homeowners who still want to keep their existing tub but need easier access, a cut-through can be a practical accessibility improvement without changing the entire bathroom.
Walk-In Tubs
If you enjoy taking a bath but want an easier way to get in and out, a walk-in tub can provide the best of both worlds.
Walk-in baths feature a door that allows you to enter through the side of the tub rather than stepping over a traditional tub wall. Walk-in baths are designed with accessibility features such as an ultra-low step-in, built-in seating, easy-to-grip handrails, and an extra-wide door.
Walk-In Showers
A walk-in shower is one of the most popular options for aging in place because it can eliminate or significantly reduce the step required to enter the shower.
Low-threshold, barrier-free, and roll-in shower designs can make the bathing area easier to use for people with changing mobility needs. Features such as built-in seating, support bars, handheld showerheads, and conveniently positioned controls can also be incorporated into the shower design.
Grab Bars and Support
Properly positioned grab bars can provide additional support near the shower, bathtub, toilet, or other areas where balance and stability are important.
Today's grab bars are available in a variety of styles and finishes, allowing them to coordinate with other bathroom fixtures rather than looking like an afterthought.
Shower and Bath Seating
Built-in shower benches, fold-down seats, and seating incorporated into a walk-in tub can provide support for anyone who has difficulty standing for long periods or simply wants a more comfortable bathing experience.
Seating can also be paired with a handheld showerhead, support bar, and easy-to-reach controls to create a bathing area that is easier to use from a seated position.
Comfort-Height Toilets
A comfort-height toilet is taller than many traditional toilets, bringing the seat closer to the height of a standard chair. That extra height can make sitting down and standing up easier for people with limited mobility, balance concerns, or joint discomfort. Total Bath Systems already incorporates comfort-height toilets into its aging-in-place recommendations.
