Services / Grab bars and bathroom safety

Grab bars and bathroom safety

Into studs or solid blocking, or set with rated steel toggles. Never plastic anchors. A bar fixed into drywall alone will hold a towel and not a person.

What the job involves

  • Bars anchored into studs or blocking wherever they exist
  • Where there's no stud, rated steel toggles, never plastic anchors
  • Height and angle set for the person who will actually use it, with them there if possible
  • Shower, tub and toilet positions, which are three different problems
  • Sealed at the flange so water can't get behind the plate
  • Handheld shower brackets, shower seats and raised toilet frames fitted

What is not included

  • Anything that involves opening a water line or moving a fixture
  • Cutting into tile without agreeing it first
  • Structural changes to a shower enclosure

What it costs

$140 for the first hour and most bathrooms take one. Two or three bars in the same visit is the sensible way to do it.

Examples of this work

  • A bar beside the shower for a parent
  • Tub, toilet and shower in one visit
  • A handheld shower and a seat fitted
