Working in Farnham
In Farnham we cover GU9 and GU10; we also cover Aldershot, 2.8 miles away, and Fleet.
In Farnham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Farnham, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. For Farnham houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Farnham 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
