If someone in your Chalfont St Peter home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Chalfont St Peter, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Chalfont St Peter 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 thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
