Working in Ellesmere Port

As well as Ellesmere Port itself (CH64, CH65 and CH66), we survey in Garston, Speke and Hunts Cross.

In Ellesmere Port, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a walk-in shower in Ellesmere Port, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. We measure walk-in showers in Ellesmere Port so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water across much of Cheshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ellesmere Port. 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 or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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

Decisions to make first

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.

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

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.

Is the water hard in Ellesmere Port?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
