Working in Wimbledon
As well as Wimbledon itself (SW17, SW19 and SW20), we survey in Morden, Mitcham and Putney.
London homes in Wimbledon often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If the bath in your Wimbledon home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Wimbledon survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Wimbledon 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
