Working in Bletchley

As well as Bletchley itself (MK1, MK2 and MK3), we survey in Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and Newport Pagnell.

In Bletchley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bletchley bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Bletchley home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Bletchley 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing

Decisions to make first

Walk-in bath

A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.

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.

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 Bletchley: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Bletchley?

An accessible bathroom in Bletchley usually costs £6,700–£15,750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Bletchley 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 MK1 in Bletchley?

Yes. We cover all of Bletchley, including MK1, MK2 and MK3, and nearby Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and Newport Pagnell. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bletchley?

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.
