Working in Eastbourne

In Eastbourne we cover BN20, BN21 and BN23; we also cover Hailsham, 6.6 miles away, and Seaford.

Across a large town like Eastbourne, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Eastbourne bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If your Eastbourne shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Most of East Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Eastbourne 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing

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.

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 home survey in Eastbourne really free?

Do you cover BN20 in Eastbourne?

Yes. We cover all of Eastbourne, including BN20, BN21 and BN23, and nearby Hailsham, Seaford and Bexhill-on-Sea. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
