Working in Heswall
In Heswall we cover CH60 and CH61; we also cover Bebington, 3.6 miles away, and Moreton.
Homes in and around Heswall vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Heswall 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. We check the floor under the bath during a Heswall survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Heswall, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
