Working in West Bromwich
As well as West Bromwich itself (B43, B64, B65 and 8 more postcode districts), we survey in Smethwick, Wednesbury and Tipton.
Across a large town like West Bromwich, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For West Bromwich houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If someone in your West Bromwich home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in West Bromwich. 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
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- 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.
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.
