Working in Harrogate
In Harrogate we cover HG1 and HG2; we also cover Ripon, 10 miles away, and Yeadon.
Across a large town like Harrogate, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If someone in your Harrogate home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Harrogate home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Harrogate. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
