Working in Shrewsbury

As well as Shrewsbury itself (SY1, SY2 and SY3), we survey in Wellington, Telford and Oswestry.

Shrewsbury has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Shrewsbury home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If your Shrewsbury bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Water across much of Shropshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Shrewsbury. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
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

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.

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.

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 Shrewsbury: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Shrewsbury?

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Shrewsbury.

Is the home survey in Shrewsbury 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 SY1 in Shrewsbury?

Yes. We cover all of Shrewsbury, including SY1, SY2 and SY3, and nearby Wellington, Telford and Oswestry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
