Walton-on-the-Naze gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure walk-in showers in Walton-on-the-Naze so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Walton-on-the-Naze bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Walton-on-the-Naze 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
