Working in Haverhill
As well as Haverhill itself (CB9), we survey in Saffron Walden, Newmarket and Sudbury.
Homes in and around Haverhill vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Haverhill, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. For Haverhill houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Suffolk are very hard. If your supply in Haverhill 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
