Working in Lichfield

We cover every part of Lichfield, including WS13, and nearby Burntwood (4.3 miles) and Tamworth (6.3 miles).

Homes in and around Lichfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Lichfield 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 applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Lichfield home to go with the application.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Lichfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
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.

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.

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.
