Working in Wellington

We cover every part of Wellington, including TF1 and TF5, and nearby Telford (3.3 miles) and Shrewsbury (9.9 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Wellington: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Wellington bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Wellington 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.

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

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 Wellington: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Wellington usually costs £5,900–£13,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Wellington?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Wellington?

Building control for Wellington is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Wellington.

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.
