Working in Coalville
As well as Coalville itself (LE67), we survey in Loughborough, Swadlincote and Mountsorrel.
Homes in and around Coalville vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If someone in your Coalville home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Coalville, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Supplies across most of Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Coalville is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
