Working in Hastings
As well as Hastings itself (TN34, TN35, TN37 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Bexhill-on-Sea, Hailsham and Eastbourne.
Across a large town like Hastings, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Hastings bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. For a walk-in shower in Hastings, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. If your supply in Hastings 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 thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- 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.
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.
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.
