What is a disabled bathroom?
A disabled bathroom is a room that has been adapted for people in wheelchairs and on crutches. Faith Bathrooms can transform your existing bathroom into the perfect space for anyone with disabilities to use, but we recommend you call us if you want an accessible shower or bathtub installed so they can transfer easily from their wheelchair without having to move it first.
