Working in Colne
We work right across Colne — BB8 and BB9 — and in neighbouring Nelson and Burnley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Colne: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the floor under the bath during a Colne 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 Colne, 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 Colne, 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
