Working in Newbury
In Newbury we cover RG14 and RG20; we also cover Thatcham, 2.8 miles away, and Tadley.
Homes in and around Newbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Newbury so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Newbury bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Supplies across most of Berkshire are hard. If your supply in Newbury 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
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Decisions to make first
Tray length
Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
Rules that apply in England
In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.
