Working in Gosport

We cover every part of Gosport, including PO12 and PO13, and nearby Portsmouth (1.7 miles) and Southsea (1.9 miles).

Across a large town like Gosport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Gosport bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are planning ahead in Gosport rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

Most of Hampshire has hard water. If your supply in Gosport 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

Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

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.

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 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.

Accessible bathrooms in Gosport: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Gosport?

An accessible bathroom in Gosport usually costs £6,700–£15,750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Gosport 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 PO12 and PO13 in Gosport?

Yes. We cover all of Gosport, including PO12 and PO13, and nearby Portsmouth, Southsea and Fareham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gosport?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
