Handicapped Shower
How can i extend the faucet set in my handicapped mom’s shower?
It is a fiberglass surround and the faucet set is to high for her to reach it. I am afraid that i am going to have to do a complete tear out. Any suggestions?
Modifying a standard bathtub for handicap access depends largely on the disability of the person using it. Sometimes a standard shower seat or shower bench is enough, but often times mobility is limited or a limb cannot come in contact with water. A sliding shower seat can be an expensive investment if health insurance doesn’t cover it or if the disability is of short duration and the seat won’t be needed for an extended period.

hand held shower sprayers are reasonably priced and can help to keep splints, casts, or surgical wraps clean and dry.Do not make
