Working in Swinton
As well as Swinton itself (M27, M28 and M30), we survey in Eccles, Walkden and Salford.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Swinton: free survey, written quote, one team. For Swinton houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Swinton survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Swinton, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
