Working in Weymouth
As well as Weymouth itself (DT3 and DT4), we survey in Dorchester, Poole and Yeovil.
In Weymouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Weymouth home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Weymouth, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Weymouth is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
