Prima Indoor & outdoor Grab Rail — 18″ Weatherproof Safety Bar for Home Entry & Bathroom (UK & Ireland)

Getting in and out of your own home safely and independently is something that matters enormously — and yet the front door step is one of the most common places where falls and near-misses happen, particularly for older adults or anyone with reduced balance and mobility.

The Prima 18″ Grab Rail was designed specifically to address this. Award-winning in its category and trusted by occupational therapists and healthcare professionals across the UK and Ireland, it provides a secure, confidence-building handhold exactly where it is needed most — at the door, on the step, in the bathroom, or anywhere around the home where support makes the difference between safety and a fall.

Designed to Blend In One of the most common concerns people have about grab rails is how they will look. The Prima addresses this thoughtfully — its subtle colour is designed to blend into brickwork and door surrounds, making it far more discreet than traditional clinical-looking chrome rails. It provides all the function with none of the institutional appearance.

Built for Irish and Northern Irish Weather Unlike chrome bathroom rails, the Prima is fully weatherproof and weather resistant — making it equally suitable for outdoor steps and entranceways as it is for indoor bathrooms and hallways. It will not rust, corrode, or degrade in wet conditions, making it a long-term investment rather than a temporary fix.

A Note on Fitting For the grab rail to provide safe and reliable support it must be fitted competently and securely into solid wall material or masonry. The Prima includes all necessary fixings and full fitting instructions. If you are unsure about installation, we recommend using a local handyperson or builder — fitting typically takes under an hour. In the Republic of Ireland, some local authorities offer a handyperson service for older adults — contact your local council for details. The Mobility Aids Grant Scheme in Ireland and the Disabled Facilities Grant in Northern Ireland may also contribute towards the cost of installation but please check with relevant authorities
