Working in Ayr

In Ayr we cover KA7, KA8 and KA9; we also cover Irvine, 10.9 miles away, and Kilmarnock.

Homes in and around Ayr vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Ayr homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Ayr home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Water across much of Ayrshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Ayr, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Low tray or level floor

A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.

Do you cover KA7 in Ayr?

Yes. We cover all of Ayr, including KA7, KA8 and KA9, and nearby Irvine, Kilmarnock and Kilwinning. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
