Home › Grab bar installation
Grab bars fixed into structure, not tile.
A grab bar is only useful if it holds when someone puts their full weight on it. We fix into studs or use proper structural anchors, and we drill tile without cracking it.

What we handle
This is the job where doing it properly is not optional.
- Grab bars in showers, tub surrounds and beside toilets
- Fixed into studs or blocking where possible, structural anchors where not
- Tile and porcelain drilled cleanly without cracking or chipping
- Fixings sealed so water cannot get behind the wall
- Every bar load-tested before we leave
Who this is for
Usually not the person who will be using it.
- Adult children arranging safety changes for a parent
- Anyone recovering from surgery or an injury
- Aging in place, so a bathroom stays usable for longer
- Landlords and property managers meeting accessibility requirements
- Occupational therapist recommendations following an assessment
Common questions
Will it hold an adult’s full weight?
That is the entire point. Fixed into structure with the right anchors, yes. A bar screwed into tile alone will not, which is why we do not do that.
Can you drill into tile without cracking it?
Yes. It needs the right bit and patience, and it is a routine part of this work for us.
Where should grab bars go?
It depends on the person and the bathroom. If an occupational therapist has given you positions, we will follow them exactly. If not, we will talk it through with you on site.
Do you supply the bars?
You buy them, we install them. If you are unsure which type suits your bathroom, ask before ordering and we will point you the right way.
Can you do several bathrooms at once?
Yes, and bulk pricing applies once there is more than one. We do multi-unit work for property managers as well.
We also handle commercial washroom fixtures including soap dispensers and accessibility fittings across multi-unit buildings.
