Working in Grantham
We work right across Grantham — NG31 — and in neighbouring Sleaford and Newark on Trent.
Homes in and around Grantham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Grantham 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 Grantham home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of Lincolnshire is hard. If your supply in Grantham 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
