Working in Totton

As well as Totton itself (SO40), we survey in Southampton, Romsey and Hythe.

In Totton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Totton for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. If your Totton bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

Most of Hampshire has hard water. If your supply in Totton 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

Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover SO40 in Totton?

Is the water hard in Totton?

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.
