Working in Bedlington

As well as Bedlington itself (NE22, NE24 and NE62), we survey in Cramlington, Blyth and Ashington.

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

Most of Northumberland is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bedlington, 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

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Bedlington: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Bedlington?

A shower room in Bedlington usually costs £4,000–£8,100 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 Bedlington 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 NE22 in Bedlington?

Yes. We cover all of Bedlington, including NE22, NE24 and NE62, and nearby Cramlington, Blyth and Ashington. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bedlington?

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.
