Working in Oadby
In Oadby we cover LE2; we also cover Wigston Magna, 1.8 miles away, and Leicester.
Oadby gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Oadby bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. If someone in your Oadby home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Oadby 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
- 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- 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.
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.
