The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Waltham Abbey
We cover every part of Waltham Abbey, including EN9, and nearby Cheshunt (1.4 miles) and Chingford (3.9 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Waltham Abbey: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning ahead in Waltham Abbey 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 Waltham Abbey bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Waltham Abbey 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 comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
