Working in Rottingdean
In Rottingdean we cover BN2 and BN10; we also cover Peacehaven, 2.6 miles away, and Brighton.
Rottingdean gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the bath in your Rottingdean home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Rottingdean survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of East Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Rottingdean 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 thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
