Working in Kingswood

As well as Kingswood itself (BS15, BS16 and GL12), we survey in Mangotsfield, Keynsham and Bishopsworth.

Homes in and around Kingswood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your second bathroom in Kingswood is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If you are converting a bathroom in Kingswood into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. If your supply in Kingswood 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Kingswood 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 BS15 in Kingswood?

Yes. We cover all of Kingswood, including BS15, BS16 and GL12, and nearby Mangotsfield, Keynsham and Bishopsworth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kingswood?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
