Working in Accrington
As well as Accrington itself (BB5 and BB6), we survey in Haslingden, Rawtenstall and Blackburn.
Homes in and around Accrington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Accrington houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Accrington home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Accrington, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
