Working in Shrewsbury
We work right across Shrewsbury — SY1, SY2 and SY3 — and in neighbouring Wellington and Telford.
Across a large town like Shrewsbury, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the bath in your Shrewsbury home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Shrewsbury survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Shropshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Shrewsbury. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
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.
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.
