Which towns do we cover in Gwynedd?
Supplies across most of Gwynedd are soft. If that holds for your street in Bangor, 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. If your Bangor bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
What the job includes
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
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.
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
Seat
A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.
Rules that apply in Wales
Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person can be zero-rated for VAT under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person signs an eligibility declaration before work starts. Disabled Facilities Grants and similar schemes are means-tested and need council approval before any work begins. All electrics must meet BS 7671, with 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit.
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.
