Working in Mountsorrel
As well as Mountsorrel itself (LE4), we survey in Loughborough, Leicester and Oadby.
Mountsorrel gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Mountsorrel home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. We check the floor under the bath during a Mountsorrel survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Leicestershire has hard water. If your supply in Mountsorrel 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 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
- 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.
