Working in Dukinfield
As well as Dukinfield itself (OL6, OL7 and SK16), we survey in Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge and Hyde.
Dukinfield gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the floor under the bath during a Dukinfield survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Dukinfield home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Dukinfield, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
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.
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.
