Working in Ashton in Makerfield
We cover every part of Ashton in Makerfield, including WA11, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Haydock (1.7 miles) and Golborne (2.2 miles).
Homes in and around Ashton in Makerfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the floor under the bath during a Ashton in Makerfield survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If your Ashton in Makerfield bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Ashton in Makerfield, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
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.
