Working in Hartlepool
We cover every part of Hartlepool, including TS24, TS25 and TS26, and nearby Peterlee (7.2 miles) and Billingham (7.4 miles).
Across a large town like Hartlepool, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Hartlepool, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If your Hartlepool 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 County Durham are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Hartlepool. 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- 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
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.
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.
