Working in Thatcham
We cover every part of Thatcham, including RG19, and nearby Newbury (2.8 miles) and Tadley (6.8 miles).
In Thatcham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Thatcham bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. If the bath in your Thatcham home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of Berkshire is hard. If your supply in Thatcham 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
