Working in Hatfield

We cover every part of Hatfield, including AL9 and AL10, and nearby Welwyn Garden City (2.8 miles) and St Albans (4.8 miles).

Homes in and around Hatfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Hatfield so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Hatfield en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. If your supply in Hatfield 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
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

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Hatfield 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 AL9 and AL10 in Hatfield?

Yes. We cover all of Hatfield, including AL9 and AL10, and nearby Welwyn Garden City, St Albans and Potters Bar. 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.
