Working in Redruth
As well as Redruth itself (TR15 and TR16), we survey in Camborne, Truro and Falmouth.
Homes in and around Redruth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Redruth home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Redruth survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Redruth, 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
