Working in Chorley
We cover every part of Chorley, including PR6 and PR7, and nearby Horwich (4.3 miles) and Leyland (4.4 miles).
In Chorley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check the floor under the bath during a Chorley survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Chorley, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Chorley, 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 low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
