Working in Great Malvern

We work right across Great Malvern — WR14 — and in neighbouring Ledbury and Worcester.

Homes in and around Great Malvern vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a long, narrow Great Malvern en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If you are planning ahead in Great Malvern for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Water across much of Worcestershire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Great Malvern. 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
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
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

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.

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

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 water hard in Great Malvern?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
