Working in Plymouth
We cover every part of Plymouth, including PL1, PL2, PL3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Paignton (25.7 miles) and Newton Abbot (25.8 miles).
Plymouth is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If someone in your Plymouth home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. We check the floor under the bath during a Plymouth survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Devon is soft. If that holds for your street in Plymouth, 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 low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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.
