When planning a bathroom adaptation or accessibility upgrade to your home, it’s important to get clarity on how the process works from start to finish. At Aquadapt (part of the CoreCare Holdings group with Vivid Care and Innova Care Concepts) we understand this, and are open and upfront about how our installation process works so there are no hidden surprises.
From your first enquiry through to final sign-off, every stage is managed by experienced professionals who understand both the technical and personal aspects of adapting a home for easy accessibility.
We aim to make the whole experience as straightforward and hassle-free as possible, and have written this step-by-step guide to outline the whole process for you.

1. Initial Enquiry
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself or a family member, our team will listen carefully to understand your needs, preferences, and any specific accessibility challenges.
At this stage, we’ll also answer any initial questions you have and arrange a convenient time for a free, no-obligation home survey.
We can cater for a wide range of tastes and design styles, from practical no-frills finishes to high-end luxury, creating beautiful accessible spaces for everyone.
2. Free, No-Obligation Site Survey
Our experienced advisor will visit your home to assess your space, take measurements and discuss what you’d like to achieve. This is a collaborative stage where we explore:
- Accessibility requirements and mobility considerations
- Style preferences and design ideas
- Practical constraints of your existing space
- Potential solutions, from simple upgrades to full adaptations
We can create a scaled drawing of your proposed layout and check any loading or structural requirements involved in your adaptation.
3. Detailed Quotation
Next, we will follow up with a comprehensive quotation based on everything proposed. This document will clearly outline:
- All recommended works and materials
- Itemised costs
- Project scope and timelines
We aim to keep everything transparent and easy to understand, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
4. Planning and Scheduling Works
If you want to proceed, we’ll agree a start date that suits you and provide a clear outline of how long the installation is expected to take.
All contractors and trades are managed by ourselves, meaning you have one dedicated point of contact throughout the entire project, making the whole process simple and straightforward.
As part of the wider CoreCare Group, we have access to a wide pool of resources and expertise, ensuring every project is delivered efficiently and to a high standard.
5. Installation
Our installation team is made up of qualified plumbers, electricians, builders, and tradespeople who have worked together extensively on multiple projects. Because everything is managed in-house, we maintain full control over scheduling and standards of work.
We cover all aspects of the project from concept to completion, including:
- Removal and disposal of existing hardware
- Plumbing and sanitaryware installation
- Electrical work and safe system integration
- Joinery, carpentry, and structural adjustments
- Flooring and finishing touches
We have even redesigned and planted a new garden for a client, to make accessibility easier and create a pleasant outdoor space for improved wellbeing.
Whether it’s a level-access shower, full wetroom/bathroom or ramp installation, our goal is to minimise disruption while delivering a safe, functional, and attractive space.
Our tradespeople are used to working sensitively in domestic environments, particularly where vulnerable individuals are involved, always prioritising safety, discretion, and respect.
6. Completion and Handover
Once the work is complete, we carry out a final inspection to ensure everything meets our quality standards and functions exactly as intended. This includes commissioning equipment ready for use and registering any manufacturing warranties and certificates, so you have all the backup documentation you need.
We can run through your new bathroom or accessibility equipment to ensure you feel confident using everything safely and comfortably.
