Working in Wimborne Minster
As well as Wimborne Minster itself (BH17, BH18 and BH21), we survey in Ferndown, Poole and Bournemouth.
Wimborne Minster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the floor under the bath during a Wimborne Minster survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If your Wimborne Minster bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old.
Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Wimborne Minster 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- 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
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
