Which towns do we cover in Shropshire?

Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Telford. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. For Telford homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.

What the job includes

A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
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
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
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

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.

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.

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

Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person can be zero-rated for VAT under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person signs an eligibility declaration before work starts. Disabled Facilities Grants and similar schemes are means-tested and need council approval before any work begins. All electrics must meet BS 7671, with 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit.

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.

Is the water hard in Shropshire?

Where should grab rails go in a bathroom?

Grab rails go where you need support to move: beside the WC, at the shower entry, near the shower seat and sometimes beside the basin. The right heights depend on the person, so we set them at the survey with the person who will use them, or follow an occupational therapist recommendation if there is one.
