Working in Coalville

As well as Coalville itself (LE67), we survey in Loughborough, Swadlincote and Mountsorrel.

In Coalville, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure walk-in showers in Coalville so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Coalville 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 Leicestershire is hard. If your supply in Coalville 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
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

Decisions to make first

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

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 Coalville?

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.
