Working in Loughborough

As well as Loughborough itself (LE11 and LE12), we survey in Mountsorrel, Coalville and Leicester.

In Loughborough, 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 Loughborough so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Loughborough 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 Loughborough 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
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and 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.

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

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.

Walk-in showers in Loughborough: questions

What is the price of a walk-in shower in Loughborough?

A walk-in shower in Loughborough usually costs £2,400–£5,800 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Loughborough.

Is the home survey in Loughborough 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 LE11 and LE12 in Loughborough?

Yes. We cover all of Loughborough, including LE11 and LE12, and nearby Mountsorrel, Coalville and Leicester. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
