Working in Tewkesbury

As well as Tewkesbury itself (GL20), we survey in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern.

Tewkesbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Tewkesbury home to go with the application. If someone in your Tewkesbury 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.

Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Tewkesbury 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Tewkesbury: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Tewkesbury?

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Tewkesbury 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 GL20 in Tewkesbury?

Yes. We cover all of Tewkesbury, including GL20, and nearby Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
