Working in Camborne
In Camborne we cover TR14; we also cover Redruth, 3.5 miles away, and Falmouth.
Camborne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the bath in your Camborne home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Camborne houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Camborne, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
