Rudkin & Herbert Ltd

Rudkin & Herbert is a long-established Leicester firm specialising in easy-access and mobility bathrooms for older and disabled people, alongside its plumbing and heating work. Trading since 1992, it designs and installs accessible bathrooms, wet rooms and adaptations on a supply-and-fit basis, with a focus on making bathing safer and easier at home.

The accessible-bathroom range covers easy-access baths, walk-in showers and wet rooms, handrails and grab rails, comfort-height and accessible sanitary ware, and full bathroom adaptations designed around the needs of the customer. Because the company is also a full plumbing and heating business, it can handle the wider works that a bathroom conversion often involves, from pipework to heating.

Service and reassurance are part of the offer. Rudkin & Herbert provides free no-obligation quotations and a complete supply-and-fit service, and easy-access bathroom installations can be supplied free of VAT for eligible disabled or chronically ill customers. The firm is Gas Safe and OFTEC registered, is approved by local councils in Leicestershire, and is a member of Age UK Leicestershire & Rutland, reflecting an established local reputation.

Rudkin & Herbert serves Leicester and Leicestershire, including Hinckley, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Wigston, Market Harborough and Coalville, and into parts of Derbyshire. For people who need a safer, easier-to-use bathroom from an established local firm that can handle the plumbing and heating too, the company offers a focused, well-supported service. The team can advise on the right easy-access bath, shower or wet room for a person’s needs and budget.
