Working in Aldridge

We work right across Aldridge — WS9 — and in neighbouring Walsall and Bloxwich.

Homes in and around Aldridge vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For shower rooms in Aldridge, 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 Aldridge is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Aldridge. 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
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
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Aldridge: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Aldridge?

A shower room in Aldridge 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.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Aldridge?

Building control for Aldridge 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 Aldridge.

Is the home survey in Aldridge 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.
