Working in Barrow in Furness
As well as Barrow in Furness itself (LA13, LA14 and LA15), we survey in Heysham, Morecambe and Fleetwood.
Homes in and around Barrow in Furness vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Barrow in Furness, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If your Barrow in Furness 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 Cumbria are soft. If that holds for your street in Barrow in Furness, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
