Working in North Shields

We cover every part of North Shields, including NE29, NE30 and NE33, and nearby Tynemouth (0.9 miles) and South Shields (1.4 miles).

Homes in and around North Shields vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your North Shields home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If you are converting a bathroom in North Shields into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in North Shields, 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

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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

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.

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

Is the water hard in North Shields?

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.
