Working in Crewe
In Crewe we cover CW1 and CW2; we also cover Nantwich, 3.8 miles away, and Sandbach.
Across a large town like Crewe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Crewe houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Crewe survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Crewe. 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
