7 Bathroom Safety Bathroom
Showers and baths
Be careful getting in and out of showers and baths. It is easy to slip and trip. If you need help with assisted bathing, get in touch, and we may be able to help with adaptations.
If you are installing or replacing a shower, get in touch as you will need permission to do this. You are required to make sure the installation is safe and provide an electrical safety certificate. It is important that the electrical
work is done to the correct standard to make sure the wiring is adequate to deal with the electrical load. Using existing wiring in a replacement may be inadequate if you are installing a more powerful shower. If we find that a shower has be installed without our permission and we consider it unsafe, we may remove it or upgrade the wiring and charge this work to you.
