In a city the size of Worcester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Worcester bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If your Worcester shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

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 Worcester. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
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
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and 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 or tiled floor

A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.

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 Worcester?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Worcester?

Building control for Worcester is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
