Working in Coalville

In Coalville we cover LE67; we also cover Loughborough, 7.7 miles away, and Swadlincote.

In Coalville, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Coalville home to go with the application. If your Coalville bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Water across much of Leicestershire is hard. If your supply in Coalville 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
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing

Decisions to make first

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.

Walk-in bath

A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.

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 Coalville: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Coalville usually costs £5,800–£13,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Coalville 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 LE67 in Coalville?

Yes. We cover all of Coalville, including LE67, and nearby Loughborough, Swadlincote and Mountsorrel. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Coalville?

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.
