Blaydon-on-Tyne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For shower rooms in Blaydon-on-Tyne, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If your second bathroom in Blaydon-on-Tyne is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. If that holds for your street in Blaydon-on-Tyne, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
