Working in Lichfield

In Lichfield we cover WS13; we also cover Burntwood, 4.3 miles away, and Tamworth.

Homes in and around Lichfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Lichfield 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 Lichfield for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Lichfield. 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
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

Decisions to make first

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.

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

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 home survey in Lichfield really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover WS13 in Lichfield?

Yes. We cover all of Lichfield, including WS13, and nearby Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
