Working in Golborne

We work right across Golborne — WA3, WA12 and WN4 — and in neighbouring Newton-le-Willows and Ashton in Makerfield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Golborne: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote wet rooms in Golborne only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If your Golborne home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Golborne, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new drain connection or changes at the soil stack can be building-regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or changes to the wiring in the room are notifiable under Part P. If the wet room is a newly formed bathroom, Approved Document F requires extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Golborne: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Golborne?

A wet room in Golborne usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Golborne 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 WA3 in Golborne?

Yes. We cover all of Golborne, including WA3, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton in Makerfield and Leigh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Golborne?

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
