Working in Ellesmere Port

We cover every part of Ellesmere Port, including CH64, CH65 and CH66, and nearby Garston (3.8 miles) and Speke (5 miles).

In Ellesmere Port, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a busy Ellesmere Port household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. We survey in Ellesmere Port before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

Decisions to make first

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.

Do you cover CH64 in Ellesmere Port?

Yes. We cover all of Ellesmere Port, including CH64, CH65 and CH66, and nearby Garston, Speke and Hunts Cross. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Ellesmere Port?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
