Working in Sheffield

We cover every part of Sheffield, including S1, S2 and S3, and nearby Rotherham (5.6 miles) and Dronfield (5.6 miles).

Sheffield is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are converting a bathroom in Sheffield into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. Where a Sheffield shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Water across much of South Yorkshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Sheffield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
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 low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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 Sheffield: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Sheffield?

A shower room in Sheffield usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Sheffield?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Sheffield?

Building control for Sheffield 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.
