Working in Southport

As well as Southport itself (L20, L21, L22 and 5 more postcode districts), we survey in Formby, Lytham St Annes and Ormskirk.

Across a large town like Southport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For shower rooms in Southport, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If your second bathroom in Southport is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Southport, 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Southport: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Southport?

A shower room in Southport usually costs £4,200–£8,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Southport 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 L20 in Southport?

Yes. We cover all of Southport, including L20, L21, L22, L30 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Formby, Lytham St Annes and Ormskirk. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Southport?

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.
