Working in Basingstoke
In Basingstoke we cover RG21, RG22, RG23 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Tadley, 6.3 miles away, and Alton.
Across a large town like Basingstoke, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If someone in your Basingstoke home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Basingstoke home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of Hampshire has hard water. If your supply in Basingstoke is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
