Working in Hereford
In Hereford we cover HR1 and HR4; we also cover Ross on Wye, 11.6 miles away, and Leominster.
In a city the size of Hereford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Hereford, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If your Hereford bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old.
Water across much of Herefordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Hereford. 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
