Working in Yeovil

As well as Yeovil itself (BA20 and BA21), we survey in Dorchester, Bridgwater and Taunton.

Homes in and around Yeovil vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Yeovil home to go with the application. If you are planning ahead in Yeovil rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

Most of Somerset has hard water. If your supply in Yeovil is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards

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.

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

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 Yeovil: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Yeovil usually costs £6,100–£14,250 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 Yeovil 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 BA20 and BA21 in Yeovil?

Yes. We cover all of Yeovil, including BA20 and BA21, and nearby Dorchester, Bridgwater and Taunton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Yeovil?

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.
