Working in Shipley
We work right across Shipley — BD10, BD17 and BD18 — and in neighbouring Baildon and Bradford.
In Shipley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Shipley, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If someone in your Shipley home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Shipley, 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
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.
