Sutton Coldfield has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are planning ahead in Sutton Coldfield for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. We measure walk-in showers in Sutton Coldfield 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 Sutton Coldfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- 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
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.
