Shower Improvement and Bathroom to Shower/Utility Conversion
We’ve had an en suit shower enlarged by removal of a partition, installation of a larger tray and panelling of the shower walls. The panelling fitted left a gap between the panelling and the ceiling and it was suggested the panels supplied were at fault. It is unlikely that the ceiling height was checked before ordering and it would have been obvious when the first panel was fitted that it was short and at this point fitting should have been stopped instead of being completed.
We also had a bathroom converted to a shower room and to incorporate a stacked washing machine and dryer. The estimate/quote was for “Full rip out of bathroom” and “Re-plaster Ceiling” This was necessary to provide adequate passage between the shower on one side and machines on the other, the bath and toilet etc were removed , but the tiling etc was not removed saving several man days work and the cost of a skip. The panels were fitted leaving a gap at the ceiling (as in en suit above) which was rectified by fitting a false ceiling, this could have been avoided using similar but taller panels which are available.
Water from the shower which runs down the door onto the tray runs out onto the floor this is due to the slope on the tray rim being outward instead of inward. The installer insists that the tray is installed correctly although it does not comply with the fitting instructions which say that it should be levelled across the external edges, whereas a level placed across the tray actually rests on the inner edges of the rim. More recently the manufacturer has confirmed the slope should be inward. This could mean that there is a potential problem with the tray installation and failure which should be corrected rather than hidden by installing a sliding door screen or other fix.
The easy clean shower screen was fitted with the easy clean surface outside etc; .
