In Ashton in Makerfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ashton in Makerfield 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 Ashton in Makerfield, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Ashton in Makerfield, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
