Which towns do we cover in Wiltshire?

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. If your supply in Swindon 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. If your Swindon shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

What the job includes

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
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
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

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.

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

Fitting a walk-in shower does not need planning permission. The light and fan above the shower are in zone 1 up to 2.25 m and must be at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used, with 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit under BS 7671. Under the water fittings rules, a shower pump may only be used on a gravity system with a cold tank, never on the mains, and the shower needs protection against water flowing back into the supply.

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.

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.
