Working in Corby
We work right across Corby — NN17 and NN18 — and in neighbouring Kettering and Market Harborough.
Homes in and around Corby vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Corby home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Corby houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Northamptonshire has hard water. If your supply in Corby is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
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.
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
