Working in Leek

We cover every part of Leek, including ST13, and nearby Biddulph (6.4 miles) and Congleton (8.9 miles).

Leek gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Leek bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. If the bath in your Leek home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Leek. 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
Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor

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.

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.

Bath to shower conversions in Leek: questions

How much does a bath to shower conversion cost in Leek?

A bath to shower conversion in Leek usually costs £1,950–£4,900 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the home survey in Leek really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover ST13 in Leek?

Yes. We cover all of Leek, including ST13, and nearby Biddulph, Congleton and Kidsgrove. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Should I choose an electric or a mixer shower?

Choose a mixer if your boiler or cylinder gives good hot-water flow; it usually gives the stronger shower. Choose an electric shower if stored hot water is limited or you want a shower that works when the boiler is off. An electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit.
