Working in Perth

As well as Perth itself (PH1 and PH2), we survey in Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff.

In a city the size of Perth, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Perth bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Perth home to go with the application.

Most of Perth and Kinross is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Perth, 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

A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
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
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

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Rail positions

Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Perth: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Perth?

An accessible bathroom in Perth usually costs £5,800–£13,500 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.

Do you cover PH1 and PH2 in Perth?

Yes. We cover all of Perth, including PH1 and PH2, and nearby Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Perth?

Will an accessible bathroom in Perth need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
