Working in Ilkeston

We cover every part of Ilkeston, including DE7 and NG10, and nearby Eastwood (2.1 miles) and Heanor (3.5 miles).

In Ilkeston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ilkeston shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. In a long, narrow Ilkeston en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Water across much of Derbyshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ilkeston. 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
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level 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.

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 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 Ilkeston?

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.
