Which towns do we cover in Herefordshire?

Most of Herefordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Hereford. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your second bathroom in Hereford is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

What the job includes

A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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.

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

Turning a bathroom into a shower room does not need planning permission. The electrics must meet BS 7671: 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit, at least IPX4 fittings in zone 1 above the tray up to 2.25 m, or IPX5 where water jets are used, and no ordinary sockets within 3 m of zone 1. A shower pump can only be used on a gravity system with a cold tank, never connected directly to the mains.

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?

A shower room is rarely a problem as an en-suite or second bathroom. If it would be the only bathroom in a family-sized house, some buyers will want a bath, so think about how long you plan to stay. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers in your street expect.
