Working in Swindon

As well as Swindon itself (SN1, SN2, SN3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Calne, Cirencester and Carterton.

Swindon is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We plan shower rooms in Swindon around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If you are converting a bathroom in Swindon into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Most of Wiltshire has hard water. If your supply in Swindon 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

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
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Swindon: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Swindon?

A shower room in Swindon usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Swindon?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Swindon?

Building control for Swindon 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.
