Working in Cheltenham

We work right across Cheltenham — GL50, GL51 and GL53 — and in neighbouring Tewkesbury and Gloucester.

Across a large town like Cheltenham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We plan shower rooms in Cheltenham around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If nobody in your Cheltenham home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are hard. If your supply in Cheltenham 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
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

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.

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 Cheltenham: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Cheltenham?

A shower room in Cheltenham usually costs £4,600–£9,200 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 Cheltenham.

Is the home survey in Cheltenham 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 GL50 in Cheltenham?

Yes. We cover all of Cheltenham, including GL50, GL51 and GL53, and nearby Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud. 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.
