Working in Nailsea
As well as Nailsea itself (BS48), we survey in Portishead, Clevedon and Bishopsworth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Nailsea: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Nailsea home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Nailsea home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of Somerset is hard. If your supply in Nailsea 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
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.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
