Working in Eastbourne
As well as Eastbourne itself (BN20, BN21 and BN23), we survey in Hailsham, Seaford and Bexhill-on-Sea.
Eastbourne has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If the bath in your Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Water across much of East Sussex is hard. If your supply in Eastbourne 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
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
