Working in Tiverton

We work right across Tiverton — EX16 — and in neighbouring Exeter and Taunton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Tiverton: free survey, written quote, one team. For Tiverton 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 your Tiverton bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Tiverton, 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

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 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.

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 Tiverton: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Tiverton?

An accessible bathroom in Tiverton 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.

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Tiverton?

Building control for Tiverton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Tiverton.

Is the home survey in Tiverton 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.

Is a walk-in bath better than a level-access shower?

It depends on whether bathing matters to you. A walk-in bath lets you keep a soak without climbing over the side, but you must sit in it while it fills and empties. A level-access shower is quicker, easier for a carer to help with and works with a wheelchair or shower chair.
