Working in Mitcham

In Mitcham we cover CR4, SM4 and SW17; we also cover Morden, 1.3 miles away, and Wimbledon.

In Mitcham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you are planning ahead in Mitcham for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. For a walk-in shower in Mitcham, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Mitcham 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
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

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Mitcham?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
