Working in Trowbridge
In Trowbridge we cover BA14; we also cover Westbury, 4.2 miles away, and Melksham.
In Trowbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Trowbridge 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. For Trowbridge houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of Wiltshire is hard. If your supply in Trowbridge 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- 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
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.
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.
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.
