Working in Kidderminster
In Kidderminster we cover DY10 and DY11; we also cover Stourport-on-Severn, 3.6 miles away, and Stourbridge.
In Kidderminster, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Kidderminster bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are planning ahead in Kidderminster 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 Worcestershire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Kidderminster. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
Decisions to make first
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.
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
