Working in Royston
We cover every part of Royston, including SG8, and nearby Letchworth Garden City (9.8 miles) and Biggleswade (10.6 miles).
Royston gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Royston, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If the bath in your Royston home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in Royston 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
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
