Working in Paignton
We work right across Paignton — TQ2, TQ3 and TQ4 — and in neighbouring Torquay and Brixham.
Homes in and around Paignton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Paignton so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Paignton bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Supplies across most of Devon are soft. If that holds for your street in Paignton, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
