Working in Golborne

In Golborne we cover WA3, WA12 and WN4; we also cover Newton-le-Willows, 1.9 miles away, and Ashton in Makerfield.

Golborne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Golborne shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. In a long, narrow Golborne en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Water across much of Merseyside is soft. If that holds for your street in Golborne, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover WA3 in Golborne?

Is the water hard in Golborne?

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.
