Working in Tamworth

As well as Tamworth itself (B77 and B78), we survey in Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Aldridge.

Tamworth has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are converting a bathroom in Tamworth into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If nobody in your Tamworth home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of Staffordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Tamworth. 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
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Tamworth: questions

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

A shower room in Tamworth usually costs £4,400–£8,800 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Tamworth?

Building control for Tamworth 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.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Tamworth.

Is the home survey in Tamworth really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Can a shower room have a level floor?

Yes. A tiled level floor with a former and linear drain gives a seamless look and level access, but it needs full tanking of the shower area and a suitable floor build-up. On a timber floor, the former is set between the joists; on a concrete floor, the screed may need cutting out to set the drain.
