Working in Redditch
We work right across Redditch — B96, B97 and B98 — and in neighbouring Bromsgrove and Shirley.
Across a large town like Redditch, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If someone in your Redditch home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Redditch home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Redditch. 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- 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
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
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.
