Working in Deeside

In Deeside we cover CH5; we also cover Hawarden, 1.2 miles away, and Buckley.

Homes in and around Deeside vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning ahead in Deeside for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. We measure walk-in showers in Deeside so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water across much of Clwyd is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Deeside. 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
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

Decisions to make first

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers a wider list of electrical work than England, so changes to the lighting or a new electric shower circuit should be notified and certified.

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Deeside?

Building control for Deeside 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.

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Deeside.

Can a walk-in shower replace a bath?

Yes. A standard bath is about 1700 by 700 mm, so a 1700 mm tray fits the same space and can often use the existing waste position. It is one of the simplest ways to get a walk-in shower; our bath to shower conversions page covers that job in detail.
