Working in Trowbridge

As well as Trowbridge itself (BA14), we survey in Westbury, Melksham and Bath.

Homes in and around Trowbridge vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Trowbridge home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Trowbridge home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. If your supply in Trowbridge 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
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

Colour contrast

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

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

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.

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

Is the water hard in Trowbridge?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Trowbridge?

Building control for Trowbridge 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.

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Trowbridge.

Where should grab rails go in a bathroom?

Grab rails go where you need support to move: beside the WC, at the shower entry, near the shower seat and sometimes beside the basin. The right heights depend on the person, so we set them at the survey with the person who will use them, or follow an occupational therapist recommendation if there is one.
