Working in Stanford-le-Hope
We cover every part of Stanford-le-Hope, including SS16 and SS17, and nearby Basildon (3.3 miles) and Pitsea (4.3 miles).
In Stanford-le-Hope, 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 Stanford-le-Hope home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Stanford-le-Hope houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Stanford-le-Hope 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
