Working in Maidenhead
In Maidenhead we cover SL6; we also cover Marlow, 4 miles away, and Slough.
In Maidenhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Maidenhead, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. For Maidenhead houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Berkshire are hard. If your supply in Maidenhead 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
