Working in Eastleigh

In Eastleigh we cover SO50 and SO53; we also cover Hedge End, 4.3 miles away, and Southampton.

Homes in and around Eastleigh vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Eastleigh so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Eastleigh bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

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

Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Eastleigh 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.

Do you cover SO50 and SO53 in Eastleigh?

Yes. We cover all of Eastleigh, including SO50 and SO53, and nearby Hedge End, Southampton and Romsey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
