Hi all,
Perhaps it would be best to give the background to this problem.
This is a Housing Association flat.
Because of Osteoarthritis in my knees and hands, I asked if my bath could be changed to a walk in shower
The Housing Association referred me to an occupational assessment unit to seek funding.
A kitchen and bathroom upgrade was planned for all the flats in the complex.
When this started the builders told me I was not having a bathroom upgrade, they were fitting an over bath electric shower instead.
Which is what has happened, a shower only.
The Housing Association has not sent anyone to final check the whole kitchen and bathroom upgrade which was done by different teams.
This is why I wanted to ask if a builder would fit a shower without any tiling.
When we were told the general upgrades were planned I offered to pay the cost of the shower if it could be installed at the time of the upgrade hoping they would then build a walk in unit.
We are not allowed to do work ourselves we have to get permission to get a qualified approved builder to carry out the work, but I wonder what the Housing Association would say if I had had the shower installed without tiling?
Would they then hold me responsible when the plasterboard walls are damaged?
Mick.
