Working in Ramsbottom

We cover every part of Ramsbottom, including BL0, and nearby Bury (3.4 miles) and Haslingden (3.8 miles).

Ramsbottom gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Ramsbottom shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If nobody in your Ramsbottom home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Ramsbottom, 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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

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.

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.

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 Ramsbottom: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Ramsbottom?

A shower room in Ramsbottom 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.

Is the home survey in Ramsbottom 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 BL0 in Ramsbottom?

Yes. We cover all of Ramsbottom, including BL0, and nearby Bury, Haslingden and Rawtenstall. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Ramsbottom?

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.
