Working in Hindley
As well as Hindley itself (WN1, WN2 and WN3), we survey in Wigan, Westhoughton and Leigh.
Homes in and around Hindley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Hindley home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Hindley houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Hindley, 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
- 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
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.
