Working in Tonbridge

We work right across Tonbridge — TN9, TN10 and TN11 — and in neighbouring Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks.

Homes in and around Tonbridge vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a long, narrow Tonbridge en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Tonbridge, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Water across much of Kent is very hard. If your supply in Tonbridge 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system

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.

Is the water hard in Tonbridge?

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.
