AHM Installations

Many people find a warm bath helps to melt away their worries. Baths also help to relieve muscle pain and tension, lower blood sugar and improve heart health.

Bathing can become difficult for all sorts of reasons, but the most common issue is struggling to get out of the bath.

This is easy to solve with a walk-in bath. They have a low step and door to allow you to get in and out easily. You can have anti-scald taps, slip-resistant floors and shower attachments too. Some baths can be fitted in a day, although often people decide to go further by adding new flooring, tiles or grab rails too. Walk-in baths are just one of the ways AHM Installations help people every day. They also provide showers and shower trays, wet rooms, raised toilets, sinks and bidet seats.

The family-run team are always happy to help. Call them on 0114 358 2320 or visit www.ahminstallations.co.uk
