Working in Bexley
We work right across Bexley — DA5, DA6, DA14 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Dartford and Swanley.
London homes in Bexley often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Bexley, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If someone in your Bexley home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Bexley 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
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
