Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Horsforth: free survey, written quote, one team. Where a Horsforth shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. We plan shower rooms in Horsforth around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Horsforth, 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
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

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.

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.

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 Horsforth: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Horsforth?

A shower room in Horsforth usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the water hard in Horsforth?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Horsforth?

Building control for Horsforth 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.
