Working in Northampton
We cover every part of Northampton, including NN1, NN2, NN3 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Newport Pagnell (13.2 miles) and Milton Keynes (15.4 miles).
Northampton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We check the floor under the bath during a Northampton survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Northampton home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Northamptonshire has hard water. If your supply in Northampton 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
