Working in Runcorn
In Runcorn we cover WA7 and WA8; we also cover Widnes, 1.4 miles away, and Halewood.
In Runcorn, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Runcorn home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If your Runcorn 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.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Runcorn. 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Decisions to make first
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.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
