Working in Winchester
In Winchester we cover SO21, SO22 and SO23; we also cover Eastleigh, 6.9 miles away, and Romsey.
Winchester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If the bath in your Winchester home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Winchester home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Winchester 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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.
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.
