In Chalfont St Peter we cover SL9; we also cover Gerrards Cross, 1.6 miles away, and Rickmansworth.
Chalfont St Peter gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Chalfont St Peter bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Chalfont St Peter en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Chalfont St Peter 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
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Decisions to make first
Head
A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.
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.
