Working in Coulsdon
We cover every part of Coulsdon, including CR5, CR8 and SM7, and nearby Purley (1.7 miles) and Banstead (2.9 miles).
London homes in Coulsdon often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We check the floor under the bath during a Coulsdon survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Coulsdon, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Coulsdon 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
