Working in Deal

We cover every part of Deal, including CT14, and nearby Dover (7.8 miles) and Ramsgate (7.8 miles).

Homes in and around Deal vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Deal 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. For Deal houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.

Water across much of Kent is very hard. If your supply in Deal 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

Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old

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.

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.

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.

Bath to shower conversions in Deal: questions

How much should I budget for a bath to shower conversion in Deal?

Is the home survey in Deal really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CT14 in Deal?

Yes. We cover all of Deal, including CT14, and nearby Dover, Ramsgate and Broadstairs. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Will removing the bath devalue my house?

It depends on the house. Where there is another bath, or in a flat or smaller home, a good walk-in shower is unlikely to put buyers off. If it would leave a family-sized house with no bath at all, some buyers will want one. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers near you expect; our bath or shower guide covers the trade-offs.
