Working in Ramsbottom

In Ramsbottom we cover BL0; we also cover Bury, 3.4 miles away, and Haslingden.

Ramsbottom gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Ramsbottom shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If you are planning ahead in Ramsbottom for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Ramsbottom, 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

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

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.

Is the water hard in Ramsbottom?

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
