Project Overview When a trusted bathroom renovation contractor approached PGWA to handle the plumbing for a special project in Padbury, we knew this wasn’t just about installing new fixtures. This was about creating a safe, accessible space that would allow seniors to maintain their independence and dignity in their own home.
Accessible Bathroom Design Challenges
The existing bathroom posed real challenges for its senior occupants:
- Safety hazards with steps and awkward heights creating fall risks
- Outdated fixtures that were difficult to use for those with mobility limitations
- Poor accessibility making daily routines stressful and potentially dangerous
- Inadequate storage at reachable heights for everyday essentials
- Aging plumbing that needed updating to support modern, accessible fixtures
Creating a bathroom that’s both beautiful and truly functional for seniors requires careful planning and specialized knowledge.
Senior-Friendly Plumbing Installation Services
At PGWA, we understand that accessible doesn’t mean compromising on style or quality. Working alongside the renovation team, we focused on:
- Step-free design – Eliminated all trip hazards for safe, easy movement
- Modern toilet installation – Positioned at optimal height for comfort and safety
- Accessible vanity setup – Installed at the perfect height with ample, reachable storage
- Quality shower fixtures – Modern, easy-to-operate controls within comfortable reach
- Complete plumbing upgrade – Ensured all new systems work perfectly with the accessible design
Every element was carefully considered to promote independence while maintaining Perth’s high standards for modern bathroom design.
Successful Accessible Bathroom Transformation
The transformation created a bathroom that truly works for its users:
- Enhanced safety – No more worrying about falls or difficult-to-reach fixtures
- Maintained independence – Seniors can confidently use their bathroom without assistance
- Modern functionality – Quality fixtures that will provide reliable service for years
- Practical storage – Everything they need is within easy, safe reach
- Beautiful design – Proving that accessible can also be stylish and contemporary
What We Aimed to Achieve “When I see projects like this, I’m reminded why we do what we do. Our goal was to install plumbing that would genuinely improve these people’s daily lives – making their bathroom safer and more comfortable while working seamlessly with the accessible design. Quality fixtures positioned perfectly can make all the difference between struggling and thriving at home.” – Gregg Harrison, Owner, PGWA
