Across a large town like Burton upon Trent, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Burton upon Trent 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. If you are planning ahead in Burton upon Trent rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Burton upon Trent. 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
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.
