Working in Gainsborough
We work right across Gainsborough — DN21 — and in neighbouring Retford and Scunthorpe.
Gainsborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Gainsborough 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 Gainsborough survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Lincolnshire is hard. If your supply in Gainsborough 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- 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.
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
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.
