Working in Derby
We cover every part of Derby, including DE1, DE21, DE22 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Belper (6.9 miles) and Ilkeston (7.7 miles).
In a city the size of Derby, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We check the floor under the bath during a Derby survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If the bath in your Derby home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
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 Derby. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
