Working in Acocks Green
We work right across Acocks Green — B25, B26 and B27 — and in neighbouring Shirley and Solihull.
Homes in and around Acocks Green vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Acocks Green home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If your Acocks Green 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.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Acocks Green. 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
