Working in Ellesmere Port
We work right across Ellesmere Port — CH64, CH65 and CH66 — and in neighbouring Garston and Speke.
Homes in and around Ellesmere Port vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the floor under the bath during a Ellesmere Port survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If the bath in your Ellesmere Port home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
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 Ellesmere Port. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
