Working in Worthing

In Worthing we cover BN11, BN12, BN13 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Lancing, 2.4 miles away, and Shoreham-by-Sea.

Across a large town like Worthing, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If someone in your Worthing 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. For Worthing 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.

Water across much of West Sussex is hard. If your supply in Worthing 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
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet

Decisions to make first

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

Rail positions

Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.

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.
