Aston Mobile Shower Commode Chair

Aston Shower Commode Chair

The Aston Shower Commode Chair is a versatile, attendant-controlled wheeled shower and toileting chair designed to provide comfort, support and convenience for people with reduced mobility.

Combining three essential bathroom functions in one practical mobility aid, this Aston chair can be used as a wheeled shower chair, over-toilet chair or standalone commode. Its multifunctional design makes it suitable for use in domestic bathrooms, accessible wet rooms and appropriate residential care environments.

Manufactured with a lightweight, rust-resistant aluminium frame, the Aston Shower Commode Chair is designed to withstand regular exposure to water. Its waterproof construction makes it suitable for showering and personal hygiene routines, while the smooth surfaces are straightforward to clean.

The chair features a comfortable polyurethane seat, backrest and armrests, providing practical support during washing and toileting. The distinctive blue seat and backrest also offer improved visual contrast, helping users identify the seating area more easily.

For convenient transfers, the chair incorporates flip-up armrests and swing-away, adjustable footrests, allowing carers to gain easier access when assisting users into or out of the chair.

Four braked castors, a rear attendant push handle and an adjustable seat height help make the chair practical for everyday assisted use.

With a maximum user weight of 130 kg (20 stone) and a removable 5-litre commode pan with lid included, the Aston Shower Commode Chair provides a flexible solution for showering, toileting and personal care.

Three Functions in One Chair

One of the main advantages of the Aston Shower Commode Chair is its multifunctional design.

Rather than requiring separate equipment for showering and toileting, the chair can perform three different functions.

Wheeled Shower Chair

• The waterproof frame and seating components allow the chair to be used in suitable showers and level-access wet rooms.
• The attendant-controlled design enables a carer to manoeuvre the chair into position using the rear push handle.
• This can be particularly helpful for people who cannot safely stand throughout their showering routine.

Over-Toilet Chair

• The Aston Shower Commode Chair can be positioned over many standard and accessible toilets.
• This allows users to access existing toilet facilities while remaining supported by the chair.
• The adjustable seat height and under-seat clearance provide flexibility when positioning the chair over a toilet.
• Always check the toilet dimensions and available clearance before purchase.

Standalone Commode Chair

• The chair can also be used independently as a commode.
• A 5-litre removable commode pan with lid is included, allowing the chair to provide toileting facilities without requiring direct access to a conventional toilet.
• This can be particularly useful for individuals who find transferring to the toilet difficult.

Lightweight Rust-Resistant Aluminium Frame

The Aston Shower Commode Chair features a durable aluminium frame designed for regular use in wet environments.

Aluminium offers several practical advantages for shower and toileting equipment:

• Resistant to rust
• Lightweight compared with many steel alternatives
• Suitable for regular exposure to water
• Practical for manoeuvring around bathrooms
• Durable for everyday assisted use

The chair weighs approximately 13.4 kg, making it a manageable option for carers who need to reposition bathroom equipment. Although the frame is lightweight, the chair provides a maximum user weight capacity of 130 kg.

Waterproof Construction for Showers and Wet Rooms

The chair is designed for use in damp environments, with waterproof components suitable for showering. This makes it appropriate for bathrooms where equipment is regularly exposed to water and humidity. Its rust-resistant construction also helps reduce the maintenance concerns associated with conventional metal furniture used in wet environments. After use, the chair should be cleaned and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Comfortable Polyurethane Seat

The chair features a supportive polyurethane seat designed for use during showering and toileting. Polyurethane provides a practical seating surface that is suitable for wet environments and straightforward to clean.

The seat measures approximately: 460mm wide x 430mm deep.  The seat incorporates a toileting aperture, allowing the chair to be used over a toilet or with the supplied commode pan. The aperture measures approximately 170 x 270 mm.

Supportive Polyurethane Backrest

The Aston Shower Commode Chair incorporates a comfortable polyurethane backrest. The backrest provides support while seated and is suitable for use in wet environments. Its height above the seat is approximately 470 mm, helping provide support during showering and toileting. The smooth surface also makes routine cleaning more convenient.

High-Contrast Blue Seat and Backrest

The chair features a distinctive blue seat and backrest. The contrasting colour can help users identify the seating area more easily against surrounding bathroom surfaces. This may be particularly useful for some individuals with reduced vision or difficulty distinguishing between similar colours.

Flip-Up Armrests for Easier Transfers

The Aston Shower Commode Chair features flip-up armrests. These can be raised to provide additional access to the seating area when assisting a user into or out of the chair. This feature may be especially helpful during appropriate sideways transfers. When lowered, the armrests provide support for the hands and forearms. Users and carers should ensure the armrests are correctly positioned before use.

Swing-Away Adjustable Footrests

The chair includes swing-away footrests designed to improve access during transfers. The footrests can be moved out of the way when a user is entering or leaving the chair. Once seated, they provide a platform to support the feet.

The footrests are also adjustable, allowing their position to be adapted to the user's requirements. Footrests should be moved clear during transfers and should not be used as steps when entering or leaving the chair.

Height-Adjustable Seat

The Aston Shower Commode Chair features an adjustable seat height of approximately 480–530 mm. This allows the seating position to be adjusted to suit different users and bathroom arrangements. Height adjustment can be particularly useful when positioning the chair over a toilet or selecting a suitable seated position for showering.

The overall chair height adjusts from approximately 970–1020 mm.

Four Braked Castors

The chair is fitted with four braked castors, designed to provide controlled movement across suitable indoor surfaces. The castors incorporate brakes that lock in both directions. This helps secure the chair during showering, toileting and transfers. All relevant brakes should be applied before a user transfers into or out of the chair. The chair is intended for appropriate indoor bathroom use rather than outdoor wheelchair travel.

Rear Attendant Push Handle

A rear push handle allows a carer or attendant to manoeuvre the chair. This makes the Aston Shower Commode Chair suitable for individuals who require assistance moving between appropriate bathroom positions. The chair is attendant controlled, meaning it is designed to be pushed by another person rather than independently propelled using large rear wheels.

Removable 5-Litre Commode Pan

A 5-litre commode pan with lid is supplied with the chair. The pan allows the chair to be used independently of a conventional toilet. After use, the pan can be removed for emptying and cleaning. The included lid provides additional convenience when handling the pan.

Maximum User Weight of 130 kg

The Aston Shower Commode Chair supports a maximum user weight of: 130 kg / approximately 20 stone This makes it suitable for a broad range of adult users within the specified weight limit. The maximum user weight must not be exceeded.

Individuals requiring a higher capacity should consider a bariatric shower commode chair.
