Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dukinfield: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are converting a bathroom in Dukinfield into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. Where a Dukinfield shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Dukinfield, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Will a shower room put buyers off?
