In Newark on Trent we cover NG24; we also cover Grantham, 13 miles away, and Arnold.

In Newark on Trent, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are converting a bathroom in Newark on Trent into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. We plan shower rooms in Newark on Trent around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Most of Nottinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Newark on Trent 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

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

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.

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.

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.
