Working in Glossop

As well as Glossop itself (SK13), we survey in Stalybridge, Hyde and New Mills.

Glossop gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Glossop home to go with the application. If your Glossop bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Glossop. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Glossop: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Glossop usually costs £5,800–£13,500 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 Glossop 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 SK13 in Glossop?

Yes. We cover all of Glossop, including SK13, and nearby Stalybridge, Hyde and New Mills. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Glossop?

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.
