Working in Loughborough

We work right across Loughborough — LE11 and LE12 — and in neighbouring Mountsorrel and Coalville.

In Loughborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are converting a bathroom in Loughborough into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If your second bathroom in Loughborough is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Most of Leicestershire has hard water. If your supply in Loughborough 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
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.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

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 home survey in Loughborough really free?

Do you cover LE11 and LE12 in Loughborough?

Yes. We cover all of Loughborough, including LE11 and LE12, and nearby Mountsorrel, Coalville and Leicester. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
