Working in Chester

We cover every part of Chester, including CH1, and nearby Ellesmere Port (6.1 miles) and Garston (9.9 miles).

Chester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If nobody in your Chester home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. We plan shower rooms in Chester around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Water across much of Cheshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Chester. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Chester: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Chester?

A shower room in Chester usually costs £4,200–£8,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Chester.

Is the home survey in Chester really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CH1 in Chester?

Yes. We cover all of Chester, including CH1, and nearby Ellesmere Port, Garston and Speke. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
