Working in North Watford
As well as North Watford itself (WD2, WD24 and WD25), we survey in Watford, Bushey and Rickmansworth.
In North Watford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your North Watford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If your North Watford 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.
Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in North Watford 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
