Working in Kidderminster
As well as Kidderminster itself (DY10 and DY11), we survey in Stourport-on-Severn, Stourbridge and Kingswinford.
Homes in and around Kidderminster vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Kidderminster, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If the bath in your Kidderminster home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of Worcestershire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Kidderminster. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
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.
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.
