What does a shower room cost in Haverhill?

In Haverhill, a shower room typically costs £4,800–£9,500 including VAT, based on East of England prices. Prices in East of England run at about 6% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Haverhill

We cover every part of Haverhill, including CB9, and nearby Saffron Walden (9.3 miles) and Newmarket (11.3 miles).

In Haverhill, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are converting a bathroom in Haverhill into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If your second bathroom in Haverhill is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Most of Suffolk has very hard water. If your supply in Haverhill 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

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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.

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.
