Working in Bredbury
We cover every part of Bredbury, including SK1, SK2 and SK6, and nearby Stockport (1.8 miles) and Hazel Grove (2.3 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bredbury: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Bredbury home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Bredbury home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bredbury, 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 low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
