Working in Grimsby
We work right across Grimsby — DN31, DN32 and DN34 — and in neighbouring Cleethorpes and Louth.
Across a large town like Grimsby, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Grimsby houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Grimsby survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of Lincolnshire are hard. If your supply in Grimsby 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
