Working in Swinton

We cover every part of Swinton, including M27, M28 and M30, and nearby Eccles (1.3 miles) and Walkden (2.4 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Swinton: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Swinton bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If your Swinton shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Swinton, 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
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

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.

Tray or tiled floor

A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.

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 Swinton?

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.
