Working in Leyland
We work right across Leyland — PR25 and PR26 — and in neighbouring Chorley and Preston.
In Leyland, 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 Leyland survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Leyland houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. If that holds for your street in Leyland, 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 thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
