Maintenance and Cleaning
Where a Shepherds Crook (Shower Pole) has been supplied and installed on the bath it is
important to carry out the following monthly checks:
VISUAL
1) Check that the base plate of the pole is flat to the rim of the bath.
2) The Shower Pole should not be bent or out of vertical.
3) The Shower handset should be in its holder.
PHYSICAL
4) Grasp the base plate and ensure it will not rotate. (Note the Shower pole can rotate as it is
screwed into place so please ensure it is fully hand screwed into place.)
5) Grasp the pole and ensure it will not ‘rock’
Six Monthly Checks
In addition to the monthly checks the following should be carried out.
• Visually inspect the bath all over ensuring there are no exposed wires or pipes. Panels
should all be fitted tightly with screws and fixings in place.
• Load the seat to its SWL. Operate the bath through its full sequence. The seat should clear
the rim of the bath by a minimum of 25mm. The seat should rotate out to 90 degrees to the
length of the bath and should be in line with the length of the bath before it lowers into the
bath
(Position A and Position B)
.
Your maintenance company should be able to carry
out this LOLER test but if not please contact us so we can arrange.
• Ensure that the tap and waste fittings are all working correctly and that the seat fixings are
all in good order.
• Check condition and operation of Safety Lap belt and handset control.
Ensure your bath is serviced regularly. Please ask for details of the Gainsborough
Bathrooms Ltd. Service and Maintenance Agreement.
