Working in Salford
In Salford we cover M3, M5, M6 and 4 more postcode districts; we also cover Eccles, 1.8 miles away, and Old Trafford.
Salford is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Salford bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. We measure walk-in showers in Salford so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Salford, 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
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
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.
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.
