Working in Wisbech
We work right across Wisbech — PE13 — and in neighbouring March and King's Lynn.
In Wisbech, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Wisbech 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. For Wisbech houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in Wisbech 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
