Working in Epsom

As well as Epsom itself (KT17 and KT19), we survey in Ewell, Banstead and Sutton.

In Epsom, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Epsom rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. For Epsom 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 Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Epsom 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
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.

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 Epsom: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Epsom?

An accessible bathroom in Epsom usually costs £6,700–£15,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Epsom?

Building control for Epsom 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 Epsom.

Is the home survey in Epsom 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.

Is a walk-in bath better than a level-access shower?

It depends on whether bathing matters to you. A walk-in bath lets you keep a soak without climbing over the side, but you must sit in it while it fills and empties. A level-access shower is quicker, easier for a carer to help with and works with a wheelchair or shower chair.
