Working in Corby

We work right across Corby — NN17 and NN18 — and in neighbouring Kettering and Market Harborough.

Homes in and around Corby vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Corby bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Corby en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Most of Northamptonshire has hard water. If your supply in Corby 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

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.

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.

Do you cover NN17 and NN18 in Corby?

Yes. We cover all of Corby, including NN17 and NN18, and nearby Kettering, Market Harborough and Oakham. 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.
