Working in Solihull

We work right across Solihull — B90, B91 and B92 — and in neighbouring Shirley and Acocks Green.

Solihull has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Solihull bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Solihull home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

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 Solihull. 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Solihull: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Solihull?

An accessible bathroom in Solihull usually costs £5,900–£13,750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover B90 in Solihull?

Is the water hard in Solihull?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Solihull?

Building control for Solihull 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.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
