Working in Hebburn
We cover every part of Hebburn, including NE28, NE31 and NE32, and nearby Jarrow (1.3 miles) and Wallsend (1.4 miles).
Hebburn gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Hebburn houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If someone in your Hebburn home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. If that holds for your street in Hebburn, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
