Working in Wallsend
We cover every part of Wallsend, including NE6, NE28 and NE31, and nearby Hebburn (1.4 miles) and Jarrow (2.1 miles).
Homes in and around Wallsend vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Wallsend 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. For Wallsend houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Wallsend, 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
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
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.
