Working in Ellesmere Port
We cover every part of Ellesmere Port, including CH64, CH65 and CH66, and nearby Garston (3.8 miles) and Speke (5 miles).
Homes in and around Ellesmere Port vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If someone in your Ellesmere Port home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at. If you are planning ahead in Ellesmere Port rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ellesmere Port. 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
