Working in Lincoln

We cover every part of Lincoln, including LN6, and nearby Gainsborough (14.4 miles) and Newark on Trent (16 miles).

Lincoln is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Lincoln shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If your Lincoln bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

Supplies across most of Lincolnshire are hard. If your supply in Lincoln 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

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
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
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.

Walk-in showers in Lincoln: questions

How much should I budget for a walk-in shower in Lincoln?

Is the water hard in Lincoln?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Lincoln?

Building control for Lincoln is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
