Working in Potters Bar
As well as Potters Bar itself (EN6, WD2 and WD23), we survey in Barnet, Enfield and Borehamwood.
Potters Bar gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Potters Bar home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. For Potters Bar houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. If your supply in Potters Bar 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
- 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
