Working in Andover

We cover every part of Andover, including SP10, and nearby Winchester (12.6 miles) and Newbury (15 miles).

Homes in and around Andover vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Andover bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Andover en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Water across much of Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Andover 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

A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

Decisions to make first

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.

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

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.

Walk-in showers in Andover: questions

What is the price of a walk-in shower in Andover?

A walk-in shower in Andover usually costs £2,800–£6,700 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Andover?

Building control for Andover is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Andover.

Is the home survey in Andover really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

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.
