Working in West Bromwich

In West Bromwich we cover B43, B64, B65 and 8 more postcode districts; we also cover Smethwick, 2.1 miles away, and Wednesbury.

West Bromwich 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 your second bathroom in West Bromwich is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If you are converting a bathroom in West Bromwich into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in West Bromwich. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Will a shower room put buyers off?
