Shoreham-by-Sea gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Shoreham-by-Sea 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 Shoreham-by-Sea rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Shoreham-by-Sea 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
- 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
- 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.
