Working in Hertford
In Hertford we cover SG13 and SG14; we also cover Ware, 2.4 miles away, and Hoddesdon.
In Hertford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Hertford, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. For Hertford houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of Hertfordshire is very hard. If your supply in Hertford 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
