Working in Gloucester
We work right across Gloucester — GL1, GL2 and GL4 — and in neighbouring Cheltenham and Stroud.
In a city the size of Gloucester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We check the floor under the bath during a Gloucester survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Gloucester houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Gloucester 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 low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
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.
