Working in Eastwood

As well as Eastwood itself (DE7, DE75 and NG16), we survey in Ilkeston, Heanor and Ripley.

Eastwood gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan shower rooms in Eastwood around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If nobody in your Eastwood home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Eastwood 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

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

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.

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.

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 Eastwood: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Eastwood?

A shower room in Eastwood usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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.

Do you cover DE7 in Eastwood?

Is the water hard in Eastwood?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Eastwood?

Building control for Eastwood is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
