Practical help, clearly explained
Planning a bathroom through a Disabled Facilities Grant
A Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) may help pay for essential changes that allow a disabled person to use their home more safely and independently. Bathroom work can include a level-access shower, wet room or other facilities recommended through the assessment process.
EverSafe can visit, understand the agreed requirements and prepare a clear, itemised quotation. Once written approval and the final specification are in place, we can agree a prompt installation programme.

Could a bathroom adaptation be considered?
This is a helpful starting point, not an eligibility decision. Your local council will assess the application.
A disabled person lives, or intends to live, at the property.
Using the bath, shower, toilet or basin is difficult or unsafe.
The work is necessary and appropriate for their needs.
The adaptation is reasonable and practical for the property.
Required owner, tenant or landlord permissions can be provided.
No work will start before written council approval.
A means test normally applies to adult applications and may result in a contribution. Applications for disabled people under 18 are not means-tested under national rules. Check the current position with your council.

Need a quote for a DFG bathroom?
We can survey the room and provide a clear quotation based on the required adaptation, products, layout, drainage and installation conditions. If a council or occupational therapist has supplied a specification, please have it available.

Frequently asked questions
DFG bathroom questions
Can a Disabled Facilities Grant pay for a wet room?
It can help with a level-access shower or wet room where the council assesses the work as necessary, appropriate and reasonable for the property. Funding is not automatic.
How much DFG funding is available?
In England, the current maximum mandatory DFG is £30,000. The award depends on approved work and, for most adults, a means test. Ask your council about local discretionary help.
Can EverSafe provide a DFG bathroom quotation?
Yes. We can survey and provide an itemised quote. Please share any occupational therapist recommendation or council specification.
How quickly can installation start?
We prepare quotes promptly and discuss early availability, but grant-funded work must wait for written council approval and an agreed final scope.
Who can apply?
Homeowners, tenants and landlords may be able to apply where a disabled person lives or will live in the property. Your council confirms the correct route.
How long does a grant decision take?
GOV.UK states that the council must decide a complete application within six months. Assessment and information gathering before submission can vary.
