Working in Romford
As well as Romford itself (RM1, RM2, RM3 and 6 more postcode districts), we survey in Hornchurch, Dagenham and Becontree.
In Romford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If the bath in your Romford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Romford, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Romford 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
