Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Frinton-on-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey in Frinton-on-Sea before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If you have young children at home in Frinton-on-Sea, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Most of Essex has very hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
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
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet

Decisions to make first

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.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

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.

Is the water hard in Frinton-on-Sea?

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.
