Working in Maidenhead

As well as Maidenhead itself (SL6), we survey in Marlow, Slough and Windsor.

Homes in and around Maidenhead vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Maidenhead home to go with the application. If your Maidenhead bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Water across much of Berkshire is hard. If your supply in Maidenhead is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady

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 England

In England, a Disabled Facilities Grant from your local council can pay up to £30,000 towards adaptations such as a level-access shower. Fitting a new electric shower, or any other new circuit or wiring change in the bathroom, is notifiable under Part P.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Maidenhead: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Maidenhead?

An accessible bathroom in Maidenhead usually costs £6,700–£15,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Maidenhead really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SL6 in Maidenhead?

Yes. We cover all of Maidenhead, including SL6, and nearby Marlow, Slough and Windsor. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Maidenhead?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
