Working in Wallsend

We cover every part of Wallsend, including NE6, NE28 and NE31, and nearby Hebburn (1.4 miles) and Jarrow (2.1 miles).

In Wallsend, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Wallsend shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. We measure walk-in showers in Wallsend so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. If that holds for your street in Wallsend, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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

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.

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 home survey in Wallsend 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 NE6 in Wallsend?

Yes. We cover all of Wallsend, including NE6, NE28 and NE31, and nearby Hebburn, Jarrow and Felling. 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.
