Working in Weston-super-Mare
In Weston-super-Mare we cover BS22 and BS23; we also cover Burnham-on-Sea, 7.5 miles away, and Clevedon.
Across a large town like Weston-super-Mare, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Weston-super-Mare bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If you are planning ahead in Weston-super-Mare for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Water across much of Somerset is hard. If your supply in Weston-super-Mare 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
- 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
