Working in Yate

As well as Yate itself (BS37), we survey in Mangotsfield, Kingswood and Keynsham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Yate: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Yate bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. We check the floor under the bath during a Yate survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.

Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Yate 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

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
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

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.

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.

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.

Bath to shower conversions in Yate: questions

Is the water hard in Yate?

Who handles building control for a bath to shower conversion in Yate?

Building control for Yate is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Does a bath to shower conversion need a new waste?

Usually the existing bath waste is reused, with the pipe adjusted so the tray outlet has a good fall and a trap suited to a shower. A level-access floor often needs more change under the floor, and occasionally a new connection.
