Working in Newton-le-Willows

We work right across Newton-le-Willows — WA2, WA3 and WA12 — and in neighbouring Golborne and Ashton in Makerfield.

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

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Newton-le-Willows, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
