VAT Relief allows a person who has a long-term illness or a permanent disability to buy eligible items without having to pay VAT therefore saving 20% on the normal VAT inclusive price.
Most of the products which can be purchased from Manage At Home are available for an eligible person to purchase without paying VAT on them. HM Revenue and Customs sets out the conditions when equipment for people with a long-term illness or a permanent disability might be eligible for VAT relief and how to claim exemption from paying VAT on these products.
On the My Basket page of this website, an online declaration form is provided if the basket contains a product that qualifies for VAT relief. Tick the box to state that you wish to claim VAT relief on the eligible product(s). If possible, the person making the claim should complete this form, but a family member, carer or medical professional may complete the form on the claimants behalf.

FAQs
What types of bathroom aids do you offer for safe bathing and toileting?
We offer a comprehensive range of bathroom aids designed to improve safety and independence while bathing or using the toilet. These include bath lifts, shower chairs, grab rails, raised toilet seats, commodes, long-handled washing aids, non-slip mats, and more. Each product supports safer, more comfortable personal care.
How do I choose between a bath lift, bath seat or bath board?
The choice depends on your mobility and how much support you need while bathing. A bath lift lowers and raises you in and out of the bath at the touch of a button, making it ideal for those with limited mobility. A bath seat provides a stable surface to sit on within the bath, while a bath board rests across the top of the bath and is ideal if you prefer to stay seated while washing. Our product pages offer clear descriptions to help you choose the most suitable option.
What’s the difference between a shower stool and a shower chair?
A shower stool is a compact, backless seat designed for those who need minimal support while showering. A shower chair includes a backrest and often armrests, providing more stability and comfort for those who need extra assistance. Both options help reduce the risk of slips and falls in the shower.
Are grab rails easy to install in a bathroom?
Yes, many grab rails are straightforward to install and come with fittings suitable for tiled or plasterboard walls. We also offer suction grab rails for temporary or non-permanent solutions—ideal for travel or if drilling isn't suitable. Always follow the installation instructions to ensure safety and correct use.
Do raised toilet seats fit all toilet types?
Raised toilet seats are designed to fit most standard toilets, with adjustable fittings or clips to secure them in place. However, compatibility may vary depending on the shape and size of your toilet. It’s always best to check the product specifications and measure your toilet before purchasing.
What are the benefits of using long-handled sponges or body washers?
Long-handled sponges and body washers make it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas such as your back or feet, especially if you have limited flexibility or joint pain. They help promote independence in personal care routines without the need to bend or stretch.
Do you supply portable urinals and bed pans?
Yes, we stock a range of portable urinals for both men and women, as well as bed pans suitable for use in bed or with a commode. These products are discreet, easy to clean, and useful for those with restricted mobility or recovering from surgery.
Are commodes suitable for everyday use at home?
Absolutely. Our commodes are designed for regular use and include discreet, comfortable options that blend into your home environment. Some models double as chairs or can be wheeled into position for convenience. You can find them in our Commodes section.
Can I get a bathroom aid delivered with installation?
While we don’t currently offer an installation service for bathroom aids, many items arrive ready to use or require only minimal assembly. Product descriptions will detail what’s involved, and if you're unsure, our customer service team is happy to help with guidance before purchase.
What should I do if a bathroom aid arrives damaged?
If a bathroom aid arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll arrange a replacement or refund as appropriate. It's helpful to provide photographs of the damage to speed up the process. For full instructions, please visit our Delivery & Returns information.
