Working in Tipton
As well as Tipton itself (DY1, DY4 and WV14), we survey in Dudley, Wednesbury and West Bromwich.
Homes in and around Tipton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a long, narrow Tipton en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Tipton bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Tipton. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- 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
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Decisions to make first
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
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.
