Working in Brighton
In Brighton we cover BN1, BN2, BN3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Shoreham-by-Sea, 5.9 miles away, and Peacehaven.
In a city the size of Brighton, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Brighton, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If someone in your Brighton home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of East Sussex is hard. If your supply in Brighton 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
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.
