Working in Yeovil

We cover every part of Yeovil, including BA20 and BA21, and nearby Dorchester (17.8 miles) and Bridgwater (20.7 miles).

Homes in and around Yeovil vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a walk-in shower in Yeovil, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. We measure walk-in showers in Yeovil so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water across much of Somerset is hard. If your supply in Yeovil 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
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Yeovil?

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.
