Working in Havant

We cover every part of Havant, including PO9, and nearby Emsworth (2.2 miles) and Waterlooville (2.6 miles).

In Havant, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Havant rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If someone in your Havant 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.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Havant 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
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

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.

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.

Accessible bathrooms in Havant: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Havant?

An accessible bathroom in Havant 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 Havant 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 PO9 in Havant?

Yes. We cover all of Havant, including PO9, and nearby Emsworth, Waterlooville and South Hayling. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Havant?

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.
