Working in Longfield
We cover every part of Longfield, including DA3, DA4 and DA13, and nearby Hartley (0.7 miles) and Swanscombe (3.5 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Longfield: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Longfield home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Longfield survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Longfield 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
- 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
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.
