Accessible Bathroom Grants UK | Disabled Facilities Grant Advice | Minehead Mobility Bathrooms
Making your bathroom safer and easier to use can have a life-changing impact, allowing you or a loved one to remain independent at home for longer. While adapting a bathroom can be a significant investment, there are several grants and funding schemes available across the UK that may help cover some or all of the cost.
At Minehead Mobility Bathrooms, we help homeowners throughout Somerset understand the funding available and design accessible bathrooms that meet both their needs and local authority requirements.
Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG)
The Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) is the main government-funded scheme that helps disabled people adapt their homes to improve accessibility and independence.
A Disabled Facilities Grant can be used to fund a wide range of bathroom adaptations, including:
-
Walk-in showers
-
Walk-in baths
-
Level-access wet rooms
-
Grab rails and support bars
-
Non-slip flooring
-
Comfort-height toilets
-
Accessible wash basins
-
Widened doorways for wheelchair access
The adaptations must be considered necessary and appropriate to meet the needs of the disabled person and reasonable for the property.
Who Can Apply?
You may be eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant if you are:
-
A homeowner
-
A private tenant
-
A housing association tenant
-
A landlord applying on behalf of a disabled tenant
The disabled person must normally live in the property as their main residence.

Arthritis
-
Parkinson's disease
