Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Potters Bar: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Potters Bar 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. If your Potters Bar bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. If your supply in Potters Bar 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 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
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Decisions to make first
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 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.
