Working in Mountsorrel

We cover every part of Mountsorrel, including LE4, and nearby Loughborough (4 miles) and Leicester (5.4 miles).

Mountsorrel gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Mountsorrel shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. For shower rooms in Mountsorrel, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Water across much of Leicestershire is hard. If your supply in Mountsorrel 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
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

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 Mountsorrel: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Mountsorrel?

A shower room in Mountsorrel usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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 Mountsorrel 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 LE4 in Mountsorrel?

Yes. We cover all of Mountsorrel, including LE4, and nearby Loughborough, Leicester and Oadby. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Mountsorrel?

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.
