Working in Tyldesley
In Tyldesley we cover M29, M38 and M46; we also cover Atherton, 1.3 miles away, and Leigh.
Homes in and around Tyldesley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Tyldesley houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley, 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
