Hi there,I've had my wet room for 2 yrs now and its fantastic. No climbing over the bath & I can sit down when either I or the carer washes me. Everything on 1 level. So I can easily say best thing for me xx

Hi

I really do not know how we managed with the bath, we had ours installed last year and apart from a disruption for a week we had no problems.

I have bought a marvellous device so I can wash my feet when sitting in the shower, it is a bog brush (toilette brush to the posher types) I can soap it up and scrub my feet till they are pink and wiggly, not something I could do myself pre-wet room (it also doubles as a back scratcher/washer when the need requires)

I hasten to add it goes nowhere near the actual device it was designed for and stays in the shower.

So if you are thinking of having one, my advice - Go for it.

Take car we and kindest regards

Terry

that's how I got mine bbstport they and ot observerd me trying to get in bath but not actualy doing it it was more questions on how I managed I was told there and then to no longer use bath as it was to dangerouse also I was asked about my toilet needs in a matter of a few days I was provided with a wet room and a closemat toilet not just in that property at the time but also when I moved im about to move again due to this bedroom tax and will need bathroom done again once social services say you must have a particular adption that's it all the best.xx

sorry i am a bit confused did you have to demonstrate to them how you get in the bath or talk them through how you did it ? what is a closemat toilet ? sorry for sounding daft

thanks in advance

I sat on the edge of the bath and was asked how I would get in and out,and a closomat toilet is like a normal toilet with a built in bidet so it cleans you aswell it even drys your nether region ns lol to flush it you just push your elbows back they also make sure its the right hight for you,its a great invention all the best x
