Working in Yeovil

In Yeovil we cover BA20 and BA21; we also cover Dorchester, 17.8 miles away, and Bridgwater.

Homes in and around Yeovil vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For shower rooms in Yeovil, 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 Yeovil is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Most of Somerset has hard water. If your supply in Yeovil 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 low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
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.

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.

Is the home survey in Yeovil really free?

Is the water hard in Yeovil?

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.
