Working in Falmouth
As well as Falmouth itself (TR11), we survey in Truro, Redruth and Camborne.
Homes in and around Falmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Falmouth houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Falmouth survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Cornwall is soft. If that holds for your street in Falmouth, 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Decisions to make first
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
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.
