Working in Aston

We cover every part of Aston, including B6, B7 and B19, and nearby Birmingham (1.5 miles) and Washwood Heath (2.4 miles).

In Aston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a walk-in shower in Aston, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. We measure walk-in showers in Aston so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Aston. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

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 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.

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.

Walk-in showers in Aston: questions

How much does a walk-in shower cost in Aston?

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Aston.

Is the home survey in Aston 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 B6 in Aston?

Yes. We cover all of Aston, including B6, B7 and B19, and nearby Birmingham, Washwood Heath and Smethwick. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do walk-in showers feel cold?

An open shower can feel cooler than an enclosure because warm air escapes from the open end. A longer panel, a heated towel rail close by or underfloor heating all help. Good extraction still matters, because condensation forms wherever the steam goes.
