Working in Billericay
As well as Billericay itself (CM12), we survey in Basildon, Wickford and Brentwood.
In Billericay, 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 Billericay 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 Billericay, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Billericay 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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.
