Working in Ashford

In Ashford we cover TW15, TW16 and TW18; we also cover Staines, 2.1 miles away, and Feltham.

Homes in and around Ashford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ashford 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 Ashford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. If your supply in Ashford 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
A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Bath to shower conversions in Ashford: questions

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

A bath to shower conversion in Ashford usually costs £2,200–£5,600 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Ashford 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.

Is the water hard in Ashford?

Does a bath to shower conversion need a new waste?

Usually the existing bath waste is reused, with the pipe adjusted so the tray outlet has a good fall and a trap suited to a shower. A level-access floor often needs more change under the floor, and occasionally a new connection.
