Working in Amersham on the Hill

Amersham on the Hill gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote.

If your Amersham on the Hill bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Amersham on the Hill 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
Rail positions
Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.
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.
