Accessible bathroom renovations in Canberra
For more than 30 years, The Bathroom Co. has been creating beautiful, functional, and accessible bathrooms for Canberra homeowners. We specialise in design‑and‑build renovations that meet Australian accessibility standards—ensuring safety, independence, and style for users of all abilities.
A home designed for everyone
Accessibility doesn’t mean clinical. With thoughtful, inclusive design, your bathroom can be both elegant and practical.
Our accessible renovations incorporate:
Barrier‑free walk‑in showers (curbless or zero-threshold) for easy entry and exit.
Comfort‑height toilets (around 460–480 mm high) combined with well‑placed grab‑rails for safe transfers.
Wide doorways (min. 850 mm) or sliding doors to accommodate wheelchairs or walkers.
Non‑slip, slip-resistant flooring and subtle slopes to prevent pooling of water.
Spacious and open layouts, with at least 1.5 m turning radius for maneuvering mobility aids.
Lever or sensor-operated taps and fittings, intuitive and easy to use.
Motion‑activated lighting, recessed storage, and adjustable lighting for improved safety and usability.
Standards and compliance you can trust
We design accessible bathrooms in full compliance with:
AS 1428.1: Design for Access and Mobility, which sets the technical benchmarks for accessible fixtures, clearances, and placements.
The National Construction Code (NCC) and Livable Housing Design Standards, ensuring long-term adaptability and universal usability.
If required, we collaborate closely with occupational therapists, NDIS planners, and home care providers to ensure each space supports the unique needs and safety of its users.
Benefits of proper accessibility design
Safety and independence: Reduce fall risks and encourage self-sufficiency in daily routines.
Aging in place: Supports long-term living in the family home with dignity and ease.
Stylish, non‑institutional aesthetics: Modern accessible features, not clinical ones—luxury and practicality in balance.
