Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Saltash: free survey, written quote, one team. For Saltash 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. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Saltash home to go with the application.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. If that holds for your street in Saltash, 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 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
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

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.

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.

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 Saltash: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Saltash usually costs £6,100–£14,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Saltash 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 PL12 in Saltash?

Yes. We cover all of Saltash, including PL12, and nearby Plymouth, Plymstock and Bodmin. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Saltash?

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.
