Working in Totton

We work right across Totton — SO40 — and in neighbouring Southampton and Romsey.

In Totton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your second bathroom in Totton is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If nobody in your Totton home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Totton 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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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

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 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 water hard in Totton?

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.
