Working in Manchester
In Manchester we cover M1, M2, M4 and 16 more postcode districts; we also cover Salford, 2.2 miles away, and Old Trafford.
Manchester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Manchester, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If your Manchester 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 Manchester, 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
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.
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.
