Working in Worcester

In Worcester we cover WR1, WR2, WR3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Droitwich, 6.1 miles away, and Great Malvern.

Worcester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For shower rooms in Worcester, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If you are converting a bathroom in Worcester into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Water across much of Worcestershire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Worcester. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
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

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

Is the water hard in Worcester?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Worcester?

Building control for Worcester 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.
