Working in Cheltenham
We work right across Cheltenham — GL50, GL51 and GL53 — and in neighbouring Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
Cheltenham 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 someone in your Cheltenham home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. For Cheltenham houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are hard. If your supply in Cheltenham 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
