Across a large town like Rotherham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Rotherham bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. For Rotherham 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 South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Rotherham. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer

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.

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.
