Working in Salford
We work right across Salford — M3, M5, M6 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Eccles and Old Trafford.
Salford is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For Salford houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Salford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Salford, 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
