Working in Bideford
We cover every part of Bideford, including EX39, and nearby Barnstaple (7.9 miles) and Tiverton (32.1 miles).
Homes in and around Bideford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Bideford houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Bideford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bideford, 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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.
