Working in Newark on Trent

As well as Newark on Trent itself (NG24), we survey in Grantham, Arnold and Nottingham.

In Newark on Trent, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a long, narrow Newark on Trent en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Newark on Trent 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 Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Newark on Trent 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

A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

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.

Is the water hard in Newark on Trent?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
