Working in Ware

We work right across Ware — SG12 — and in neighbouring Hertford and Hoddesdon.

Ware gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If nobody in your Ware home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If you are converting a bathroom in Ware into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. If your supply in Ware 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

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

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.

Storage

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

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 Ware: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Ware?

A shower room in Ware usually costs £4,800–£9,500 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.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Ware?

Building control for Ware is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Ware.

Is the home survey in Ware 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.

Can a shower room have a level floor?

Yes. A tiled level floor with a former and linear drain gives a seamless look and level access, but it needs full tanking of the shower area and a suitable floor build-up. On a timber floor, the former is set between the joists; on a concrete floor, the screed may need cutting out to set the drain.
