Working in Wimborne Minster
As well as Wimborne Minster itself (BH17, BH18 and BH21), we survey in Ferndown, Poole and Bournemouth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Wimborne Minster: free survey, written quote, one team. In a long, narrow Wimborne Minster en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Wimborne Minster, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Wimborne Minster is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- 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
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
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.
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.
