Working in Speke
In Speke we cover L24, L25 and L26; we also cover Halewood, 1.4 miles away, and Hunts Cross.
Speke gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the floor under the bath during a Speke survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Speke houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Speke, 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
