Where Bathroom Grab Rails Should Go
A grab rail is only useful where the person’s hand actually reaches, and that is not always where it looks neatest. People favour one side, turn a particular way in the shower or push up from the toilet at a certain angle, so the right position depends on how the person moves. The usual places for bathroom grab rails are:
We fit grab rails with or without an occupational therapist assessment, including a single rail on its own. If an occupational therapist has assessed the person, their report sets the positions and heights, and we fit the rails to it. If there is no report, tell us who will use the rails and what they find hard, and we will talk through the positions with you.
What a Bathroom Grab Rail Is Fixed Into
A grab rail has to be fixed into something solid. Wall sheeting and plasterboard are linings: they give a flat surface for tiles and paint, but they are not built to carry a person’s weight through one hand. The rail has to be anchored into the wall framing, into timber backing fitted behind the lining for that purpose, or into brick or block with fixings made for masonry.
You cannot see what is behind a wall from inside the bathroom, so the wall construction has to be checked before a rail position is settled. Where the best position for the hand has nothing solid behind it, backing can be added, although in a tiled wall that may mean lifting tiles. If a bathroom renovation is already planned, that is the easiest time to put backing where the rails will go.
Fitting Grab Rails to a Tiled Bathroom Wall
Most bathroom grab rails go into tiled walls, and tiles need more care than a painted wall.
A tile will crack if it is drilled carelessly, and in a shower area there is a waterproofing membrane behind the tiles that has to stay sealed. Every hole through the tile needs to be sealed around the fixing so water cannot get into the wall behind the shower. of these the bathroom needs, tell us who uses it and what they find hard, and we will explain the options.
Suction Grab Rails Compared with Fixed Bathroom Rails
Suction rails have their place. A suction rail sticks to a smooth tile or glass surface, goes on in seconds and comes off again, which suits a short stay with family, a holiday or a rental where nothing can be fixed to the wall.
.For a rail that someone will use on every day, particularly the sudden weight of a hand grabbing for support, a fixed rail is the much safer choice.
