Working in Scunthorpe
We work right across Scunthorpe — DN15, DN16 and DN17 — and in neighbouring Brough and Goole.
Scunthorpe has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In a long, narrow Scunthorpe en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Scunthorpe shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. If your supply in Scunthorpe 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
Niche
A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.
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.
