Most of South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Darton. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
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.
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.
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.
