Working in Surbiton
We cover every part of Surbiton, including KT1, KT5 and KT6, and nearby East Molesey (2.3 miles) and Esher (3.3 miles).
In Surbiton, 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 Surbiton home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Surbiton home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Surbiton 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
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.
