Working in Ripon
As well as Ripon itself (HG4), we survey in Harrogate, Northallerton and Guiseley.
Ripon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Ripon 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. For Ripon houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
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 Ripon. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
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.
