Working in Tadley

In Tadley we cover RG26; we also cover Basingstoke, 6.3 miles away, and Thatcham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Tadley: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning ahead in Tadley rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Tadley home to go with the application.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Tadley 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

Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
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

Decisions to make first

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.

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

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 Tadley: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Tadley?

An accessible bathroom in Tadley usually costs £6,700–£15,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Tadley 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 RG26 in Tadley?

Yes. We cover all of Tadley, including RG26, and nearby Basingstoke, Thatcham and Newbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Tadley?

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.
