Working in St Helens
We cover every part of St Helens, including WA9, WA10, WA11 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Prescot (3.1 miles) and Ashton in Makerfield (4.1 miles).
St Helens has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For St Helens houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If someone in your St Helens home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. If that holds for your street in St Helens, 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
- 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
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.
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.
