Working in Caterham

In Caterham we cover CR3, CR6 and RH9; we also cover Coulsdon, 3.7 miles away, and Purley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Caterham: free survey, written quote, one team. In a long, narrow Caterham en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Caterham, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. If your supply in Caterham 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

Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing

Decisions to make first

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.

Tray or tiled floor

A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.

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 Caterham?

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.
