Working in Brixham
As well as Brixham itself (TQ4 and TQ5), we survey in Paignton, Torquay and Newton Abbot.
Brixham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Brixham home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Brixham home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of Devon is soft. If that holds for your street in Brixham, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
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.
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.
