Professional kids bathroom step fitting - secure positioning so steps don't slide on wet floors. Safe independence for handwashing and teeth brushing.
Little Legs, Tall Sinks
Standard sinks are adult height. Children can't reach. A properly positioned step stool gives them independence while keeping them safe on potentially slippery bathroom floors.
💡 Pro tip: The step should be high enough for comfortable reach but not so high they're leaning over awkwardly. Test with your child before committing to a position.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a step stool need fitting?
Bathroom floors get wet. Unsecured steps slide. Children fall. A properly positioned and secured step stays put even on slippery tiles.
What type of step works best?
Non-slip surfaces, stable base, right height for your sink. Some fold away when not needed. We can advise based on your bathroom layout.
At what age do kids need bathroom steps?
From when they're toilet training until they can reach the sink properly - usually around age 6-7 depending on the child and sink height.
Can you fit steps for toilet access too?
Yes - some children need steps to reach the toilet seat safely. Same principles apply - stable, non-slip, right height.
