Working in Horsham
We cover every part of Horsham, including RH12, and nearby Crawley (7.2 miles) and Horley (10.6 miles).
In Horsham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check the floor under the bath during a Horsham survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Horsham, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Horsham is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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.
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.
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.
