Working in Aylesbury
In Aylesbury we cover HP19, HP20 and HP21; we also cover Leighton Buzzard, 9.6 miles away, and Berkhamsted.
Homes in and around Aylesbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the floor under the bath during a Aylesbury survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Aylesbury houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Aylesbury 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Decisions to make first
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
