Working in Stafford

As well as Stafford itself (ST16 and ST17), we survey in Rugeley, Cannock and Great Wyrley.

In Stafford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your second bathroom in Stafford is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. Where a Stafford shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stafford. 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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

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.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

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 Stafford: questions

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

A shower room in Stafford usually costs £4,400–£8,800 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover ST16 and ST17 in Stafford?

Is the water hard in Stafford?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Stafford?

Building control for Stafford 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.
