Working in Newton-le-Willows
As well as Newton-le-Willows itself (WA2, WA3 and WA12), we survey in Golborne, Ashton in Makerfield and Haydock.
Newton-le-Willows gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Newton-le-Willows houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If someone in your Newton-le-Willows home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Newton-le-Willows, 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
