Working in Musselburgh
We work right across Musselburgh — EH21 — and in neighbouring Bonnyrigg and Colinton.
Musselburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Musselburgh 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 Musselburgh 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.
Water across much of the Lothians is soft. If that holds for your street in Musselburgh, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Scotland
Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.
