Working in Bridgwater
In Bridgwater we cover TA6; we also cover Burnham-on-Sea, 7.6 miles away, and Taunton.
In Bridgwater, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check the floor under the bath during a Bridgwater survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Bridgwater houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Somerset are hard. If your supply in Bridgwater 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- 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.
