Working in Walton-on-the-Naze

As well as Walton-on-the-Naze itself (CO13 and CO14), we survey in Frinton-on-Sea, Clacton-on-Sea and Harwich.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-the-Naze: free survey, written quote, one team. If your second bathroom in Walton-on-the-Naze is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If nobody in your Walton-on-the-Naze home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Walton-on-the-Naze is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

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.
