Working in Wombwell

We work right across Wombwell — S63, S73 and S74 — and in neighbouring Wath upon Dearne and Hoyland Nether.

Wombwell gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If nobody in your Wombwell home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If you are converting a bathroom in Wombwell into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

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

What the job includes

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
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Wombwell: questions

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

Is the water hard in Wombwell?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Wombwell?

Building control for Wombwell 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.
