We understand that adapting a bathroom for mobility needs can be a significant investment. To help ease the financial burden, there are various grants and assistance programs available in Ireland. One of the key resources is the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability. This grant assists in covering the costs of necessary adaptations to make your home more accessible.
How to Apply:
- Contact Your Local Authority: Start by contacting your local county or city council to inquire about the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability.
- Assessment: An occupational therapist will visit your home to assess your needs and determine the necessary modifications. This assessment ensures that the adaptations are tailored to your specific requirements.
- Get Quotes: Obtain quotes from reputable contractors for the required work. Our team at Ripples Bathroom can assist in providing detailed quotes for your application.
- Submit Your Application: Complete the application forms and submit them along with the quotes and assessment report to your local council.
- Approval and Work Commencement: Once your application is approved, you can begin the modification work. The grant will cover the agreed-upon costs, ensuring you receive the necessary adaptations without financial stress.
Our team at Ripples Bathroom is knowledgeable about these grants and can assist you in navigating the application process. We are committed to helping you access the financial support needed to create a safe and accessible bathroom environment.

MobilityBathroom FAQs
A mobility bathroom is designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges, including the elderly and those with disabilities. It features accessible fixtures and layouts that ensure safety, comfort, and independence.
Key features include walk-in showers or wet rooms, grab bars, non-slip flooring, and height-adjustable or wall-mounted sinks. These elements ensure ease of use and help prevent slips and falls.
Widen doorways, lower light switches, and install lever-style taps for easier operation. Consider automatic or touchless fixtures, and ensure there is ample space for wheelchair manoeuvrability.
Use non-slip, waterproof flooring and anti-bacterial, easy-to-clean wall coverings. Durable materials like porcelain or vinyl tiles for flooring and solid surface countertops are also ideal for longevity and hygiene.
Combine practical features like fold-down shower seats and accessible storage with comfortable, user-friendly design. Adequate lighting, soft-close fixtures, and a calm, neutral colour scheme can enhance the overall experience.
