Working in Redditch

In Redditch we cover B96, B97 and B98; we also cover Bromsgrove, 5.2 miles away, and Shirley.

Across a large town like Redditch, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. In a long, narrow Redditch en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Redditch bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.

Most of Worcestershire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Redditch. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
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

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 Redditch: questions

How much should I budget for a walk-in shower in Redditch?

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 Redditch.

Is the home survey in Redditch 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 B96 in Redditch?

Yes. We cover all of Redditch, including B96, B97 and B98, and nearby Bromsgrove, Shirley and Droitwich. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
