Working in Sandown

We cover every part of Sandown, including PO36, and nearby Ryde (5.4 miles) and Newport (6.7 miles). Because Sandown is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Sandown: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Sandown home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. We plan shower rooms in Sandown around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Water across much of the Isle of Wight is hard. If your supply in Sandown 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

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

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.

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 Sandown: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Sandown?

A shower room in Sandown usually costs £5,000–£10,000 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 Sandown 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 PO36 in Sandown?

Yes. We cover all of Sandown, including PO36, and nearby Ryde, Newport and Cowes. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Sandown?

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.
