Working in Acocks Green
We cover every part of Acocks Green, including B25, B26 and B27, and nearby Shirley (2.7 miles) and Solihull (2.9 miles).
Homes in and around Acocks Green vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Acocks Green bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Acocks Green home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Acocks Green. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- 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
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.
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.
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.
