Working in Chippenham

We work right across Chippenham — SN14 and SN15 — and in neighbouring Calne and Melksham.

Homes in and around Chippenham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If someone in your Chippenham 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. If you are planning ahead in Chippenham rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. If your supply in Chippenham 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

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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
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

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.

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.

Accessible bathrooms in Chippenham: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Chippenham?

An accessible bathroom in Chippenham usually costs £6,100–£14,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Chippenham 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.

Do you cover SN14 and SN15 in Chippenham?

Yes. We cover all of Chippenham, including SN14 and SN15, and nearby Calne, Melksham and Devizes. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Chippenham?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
