Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Thornaby-on-Tees: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Thornaby-on-Tees bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If you are planning ahead in Thornaby-on-Tees for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Thornaby-on-Tees. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
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.
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.
