Working in Leatherhead
In Leatherhead we cover KT21 and KT22; we also cover Epsom, 3.6 miles away, and Cobham.
In Leatherhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Leatherhead home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Leatherhead survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. If your supply in Leatherhead 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
