Working in Scunthorpe
As well as Scunthorpe itself (DN15, DN16 and DN17), we survey in Brough, Goole and Thorne.
Across a large town like Scunthorpe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We check the floor under the bath during a Scunthorpe survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Scunthorpe houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. If your supply in Scunthorpe 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 low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
