Working in Barnstaple
As well as Barnstaple itself (EX31 and EX32), we survey in Bideford, Tiverton and Exeter.
Homes in and around Barnstaple 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 Barnstaple, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. For Barnstaple houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Devon are soft. If that holds for your street in Barnstaple, 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
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.
