Working in Frinton-on-Sea

We cover every part of Frinton-on-Sea, including CO13 and CO14, and nearby Walton-on-the-Naze (1.6 miles) and Clacton-on-Sea (4.7 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Frinton-on-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. For a walk-in shower in Frinton-on-Sea, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Frinton-on-Sea bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Frinton-on-Sea 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

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
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.

Easier than an enclosure, because there are no door seals, runners or hinges to collect grime. A single panel with an easy-clean coating needs a quick squeegee after use, especially with hard water, and large tiles mean fewer grout lines to scrub.
