Working in Rawtenstall
In Rawtenstall we cover BB4 and OL13; we also cover Haslingden, 1.6 miles away, and Ramsbottom.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Rawtenstall: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the floor under the bath during a Rawtenstall survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Rawtenstall home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. If that holds for your street in Rawtenstall, 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- 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.
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.
