Working in South Croydon
In South Croydon we cover CR0, CR2 and CR9; we also cover Croydon, 1.5 miles away, and Purley.
London homes in South Croydon 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 South Croydon survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your South Croydon 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 South Croydon 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 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
