Working in West Bridgford
In West Bridgford we cover NG2; we also cover Nottingham, 1.9 miles away, and Arnold.
Homes in and around West Bridgford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the floor under the bath during a West Bridgford survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If the bath in your West Bridgford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in West Bridgford 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
