Working in Carmarthen

As well as Carmarthen itself (SA31), we survey in Llanelli, Ammanford and Gorseinon.

Carmarthen gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Carmarthen 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. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Carmarthen home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Water across much of Dyfed is soft. If that holds for your street in Carmarthen, 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

Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
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.

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 Wales

In Wales, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £36,000 are applied for through your local council. The Welsh Part P has a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Carmarthen: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Carmarthen usually costs £5,600–£13,000 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 Carmarthen 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 SA31 in Carmarthen?

Yes. We cover all of Carmarthen, including SA31, and nearby Llanelli, Ammanford and Gorseinon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Carmarthen?

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.
