Working in Swadlincote
As well as Swadlincote itself (DE11), we survey in Burton upon Trent, Coalville and Derby.
Homes in and around Swadlincote vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Swadlincote home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are planning ahead in Swadlincote 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 Derbyshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Swadlincote. 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
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
