Accessible Wetrooms and Temporary Wetroom Solutions for Safe, Independent Bathing

Whether you require a permanent accessible bathroom or a temporary wetroom cubicle, our solutions help improve accessibility while supporting independent living and safer assisted care.
Our wetroom products are suitable for domestic homes, hospitals, care homes, schools, rehabilitation centres and Changing Places facilities. With expert advice and tailored solutions, John Preston can help you create an accessible bathroom that meets your individual requirements.
Why Choose an Accessible Wetroom?
A wetroom removes traditional barriers such as shower trays and bath sides, providing level access for wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility and those requiring assistance with personal care.
- Step-free shower access
- Improved wheelchair accessibility
- Reduced trip hazards
- Easier assisted bathing
- Greater independence
- Modern, easy-to-clean design
- Suitable for domestic and commercial environments
Accessible wetrooms provide a practical long-term solution for users who require safer and more comfortable bathing facilities.
Temporary Wetroom Cubicles
John Preston supplies temporary wetroom cubicles, also known as wetroom pods, which provide a practical alternative to permanently converting an existing bathroom.
These solutions are ideal for:
- Temporary rehabilitation
- Short-term care at home
- Rental properties
- Care environments requiring flexible bathing facilities
- Situations where permanent structural alterations are not practical
Temporary wetroom cubicles can help users enjoy many of the benefits of a wetroom without extensive building work. Plumbing work, where required, should be completed by a suitably qualified installer.
Benefits of Wetroom Solutions
Improved Accessibility
Level-access showering makes entering and leaving the shower easier for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility.
Enhanced Safety
Removing steps and bath edges helps reduce the risk of slips and falls.
Greater Independence
Many users can continue bathing with less assistance, helping maintain confidence and dignity.
Easier Caregiving
Open wetroom layouts provide carers with better access when assisting with personal care and transfers.
Modern Bathroom Design
Wetrooms create spacious, contemporary bathrooms that are practical and easy to maintain.
Wetrooms for Disabled Users
