Working in Truro

In Truro we cover TR1; we also cover Falmouth, 7.7 miles away, and Redruth.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Truro: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Truro home to go with the application. If you are planning ahead in Truro rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. If that holds for your street in Truro, 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
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

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.

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 Truro: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Truro usually costs £6,100–£14,250 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 Truro 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 TR1 in Truro?

Yes. We cover all of Truro, including TR1, and nearby Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Truro?

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.
