Working in Emsworth

As well as Emsworth itself (PO9 and PO10), we survey in Havant, South Hayling and Hayling Island.

Emsworth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your second bathroom in Emsworth is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. We plan shower rooms in Emsworth around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Water across much of West Sussex is hard. If your supply in Emsworth 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

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
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

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Emsworth: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Emsworth?

A shower room in Emsworth usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Emsworth?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Emsworth?

Building control for Emsworth 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.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
