At 1st Choice Stairlifts, we have been fitting stairlifts in Bath and the surrounding area for over 20 years. We have engineers based locally across the Bath and Bristol area, which means we can respond quickly and we know the kinds of staircases you are likely to have at home.

As an independent dealer, we are not tied to any single manufacturer. That matters in Bath more than most places, because when your staircase has a bend, a narrow width, or an unusual configuration, being able to choose from a wide range of models gives us a much better chance of finding the right solution.

Give us a call on Calne 01249 814528 for a friendly, no-pressure chat about what might work in your home.

Stairlift installation in Bath

Every home is different, and Bath homes perhaps more than most. We install the full range of stairlift types across the city and surrounding areas including:

• Straight stairlifts for standard staircases – often available within a few days of your survey
• Curved stairlifts with made-to-measure rails for staircases with bends, turns, or landings – typically 3 to 5 weeks from order
• Reconditioned stairlifts for both straight and curved staircases
• Rental stairlifts for flexible short or longer-term needs
• Home lifts where a stairlift is not the right solution

Curved stairlifts in Bath and why they matter here

Many of the staircases in Bath have tight turns, steep rises, narrow widths, or irregular step depths. Some have been told by other companies that a stairlift simply will not fit. In our experience, that is rarely true, it usually means the company did not have the right model or the expertise to configure it correctly.

Because we are independent and carry models from multiple manufacturers, we have a far greater range of options to work with. If one model does not fit your staircase, we have others that probably will. We have found solutions in Bath properties where other companies have walked away.

If you have already been told a stairlift will not fit on your stairs, it is worth calling us before you give up.

Of course we also do stairlifts for all types of stairs including straights, spirals, multiflights for townhouses and curved stairs in Bath.
