Working in Plymstock
As well as Plymstock itself (PL9), we survey in Plymouth, Saltash and Paignton.
Plymstock gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure walk-in showers in Plymstock so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Plymstock en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Supplies across most of Devon are soft. If that holds for your street in Plymstock, 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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.
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.
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.
