Working in Old Trafford
In Old Trafford we cover M16, M17 and M32; we also cover Stretford, 1.3 miles away, and Salford.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Old Trafford: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Old Trafford 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. If the bath in your Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford, 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
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.
