Most of Leicestershire has hard water. If your supply in Mountsorrel 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
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.
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.
