Working in Lofthouse
We work right across Lofthouse — LS10, LS26 and WF3 — and in neighbouring Wakefield and Morley.
Lofthouse gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Lofthouse 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. If the bath in your Lofthouse home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Lofthouse, 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
