Working in Birmingham
In Birmingham we cover B1, B2, B3 and 39 more postcode districts; we also cover Smethwick, 2.9 miles away, and West Bromwich.
In a city the size of Birmingham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If someone in your Birmingham home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Birmingham home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Birmingham. 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
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.
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.
