Stay In Your Own Home – Get a Bathroom In A Box
For Individuals
Bathroom in a Box helps you stay independent and gives your loved ones more peace of mind
If you find getting to your bathroom difficult or you struggle with bathing, Bathroom in a Box is for you.
It’s a freestanding unit containing a shower, toilet and wash hand basin.
It can be fitted in virtually any room in your home. You can have it fitted in or near your bedroom so getting to the toilet in the night is easier, or you can have it fitted downstairs so you are able to live independently downstairs if you choose.
It has been designed so you can use it independently or have the help of a carer if you need one.
It could help you stay in your own home for longer. You might not need so much help from loved ones, so you can feel less of a burden. It will also give your loved ones more peace of mind about how you’re taking care of yourself when they’re not there.

VAT Exemption
To qualify for VAT exemption you must meet the following criteria:
VAT exemption is applicable to a person who is ‘chronically sick or disabled’. This is defined as suffering with a long term condition, as opposed to acute or short term illness/condition. It excludes someone who is suffering an injury or condition of a temporary nature. Being elderly in itself is not necessarily considered a disability , although we accept that many elderly people have secondary conditions that do meet the criteria.

Bathroom in a Box Ltd has a form that you must sign stating your condition. This is kept on record in case HMRC wish to inspect our VAT records.
