Working in Bexhill-on-Sea
In Bexhill-on-Sea we cover TN38, TN39 and TN40; we also cover Hastings, 4.8 miles away, and Hailsham.
Homes in and around Bexhill-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning ahead in Bexhill-on-Sea rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If your Bexhill-on-Sea bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. If your supply in Bexhill-on-Sea is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- 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
- 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
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.
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
