Working in Ross on Wye
We cover every part of Ross on Wye, including HR9, and nearby Ledbury (10.2 miles) and Hereford (11.6 miles).
Ross on Wye gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the floor under the bath during a Ross on Wye survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Ross on Wye home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
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 Ross on Wye. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
