Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Alfreton: free survey, written quote, one team. For Alfreton houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Alfreton, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Supplies across most of Derbyshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Alfreton. 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
