What is a PMR bathroom?

PMR stands for "person with reduced mobility." A PMR bathroom is a sanitary space designed to be accessible and usable safely by a person moving with technical assistance (cane, walker, wheelchair) or experiencing motor difficulties. Adaptations can range from replacing the bathtub with a walk-in shower to a complete reconfiguration of the room to allow for a wheelchair turn.

The most common adaptations in a PMR bathroom in Wavre

Each project is different because each situation of disability or loss of autonomy is unique. Here are the fit-outs we most often carry out.

Accessible bathroom and senior bathroom: what is the difference?

The senior bathroom is designed to support the gradual aging of a person who is still autonomous but anticipates a future loss of mobility. The adaptations are often less structural and more aesthetic: walk-in shower, discreet grab bars, easy-to-use faucets. The strict accessible bathroom meets more demanding standards regarding turning space and equipment height, for individuals already in wheelchairs or requiring daily assistance.

Avenir Rénovations offers both levels of adaptation, always starting from the current and foreseeable situation of the user.

What is the price of a PMR bathroom in Wavre?

The budget depends on the extent of the adaptations and the condition of the existing room. Indicative ranges in Belgium, VAT included.

Type of work	Price indication including VAT
Light adaptation: bars + seat + non-slip	1,500 to 3,500 €
Replacement of bathtub with walk-in shower	4,000 to 8,000 €
Complete PMR renovation (shower, adapted toilet, sink)	8,000 to 15,000 €
Reconfiguration with room enlargement	15,000 to 25,000 €

A precise quote is established after a visit with an analysis of the user's situation and the structural constraints of the room. For a bathroom of five square meters with bathtub replacement, walk-in shower, and installation of grab bars, the average budget is between 5,500 and 9,000 €.

How a PMR bathroom project proceeds in Wavre

A PMR fit-out is not an ordinary project: access to sanitary facilities must be maintained during the work or a replacement solution must be provided. Avenir Rénovations plans the intervention to limit the duration of unavailability to the strict minimum, generally five to ten days for a complete adaptation.

The project follows a precise order: demolition of the bathtub and existing elements, plumbing and electrical work, application of waterproofing, installation of non-slip tiles, installation of suitable equipment, and fixing of support bars. Each step is inspected before moving on to the next. The final inspection is conducted in the presence of the user or their representative, verifying the actual accessibility of each piece of equipment.
