Working in Oswestry

As well as Oswestry itself (SY11), we survey in Shrewsbury, Wellington and Telford.

Oswestry gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Oswestry rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. For Oswestry 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.

Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Oswestry. 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
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet

Decisions to make first

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

Low tray or level floor

A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.

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 Oswestry: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Oswestry?

An accessible bathroom in Oswestry usually costs £5,900–£13,750 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 Oswestry 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 SY11 in Oswestry?

Yes. We cover all of Oswestry, including SY11, and nearby Shrewsbury, Wellington and Telford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Oswestry?

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.
