Working in Gerrards Cross
As well as Gerrards Cross itself (SL9 and UB9), we survey in Chalfont St Peter, Uxbridge and Rickmansworth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gerrards Cross: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Gerrards Cross home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Gerrards Cross home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Gerrards Cross 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
