Working in Ossett
In Ossett we cover WF5, WF12 and WF13; we also cover Dewsbury, 2.1 miles away, and Batley.
Ossett gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the bath in your Ossett home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Ossett houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Ossett, 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
