Working in Plymstock
In Plymstock we cover PL9; we also cover Plymouth, 2.4 miles away, and Saltash.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Plymstock: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Plymstock home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Plymstock home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Devon are soft. If that holds for your street in Plymstock, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
