In short: the province of Flemish Brabant (Dilbeek, Halle, Asse, Kraainem, Rhode-Saint-Genèse, Grimbergen…) is ending its home adaptation grant. The last applications are accepted until 31 December 2026, and the works must already be finished by then. It refunds 50% of the invoice, up to €2,500. The Flemish regional grant continues. Situation as of 3 November 2026.
For people aged 65 and over and people with a disability, for works that make the home safer and more accessible. Examples given by the municipality of Dilbeek: a stairlift, adapted sanitary fittings (walk-in shower, raised toilet, grab bars) or wider doors.
You apply after the works, with invoices less than a year old.
Because the application must be filed by 31 December 2026, with the works already done. For an adapted bathroom, allow time for the quote, ordering the materials and the work itself (usually one to two weeks to replace a bath with a walk-in shower). If you are thinking about it, now is the time.
The Flemish Region's Vlaamse aanpassingspremie remains:
Each grant has its own conditions: check them before you start.
Our advice: plan these adaptations before you need them. A step-free bathroom stays pleasant for everyone and adds value to the house.
CULA is based in Dilbeek and builds adapted bathrooms across Flemish Brabant and Brussels. Free visit and quote within 48 hours: request your quote. For complete bathroom budgets, see our article on bathroom renovation in Dilbeek.
