Working in Rottingdean
We cover every part of Rottingdean, including BN2 and BN10, and nearby Peacehaven (2.6 miles) and Brighton (3.7 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Rottingdean: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Rottingdean home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Rottingdean home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Most of East Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Rottingdean 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
- 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
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.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.
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.
