Working in Truro
We work right across Truro — TR1 — and in neighbouring Falmouth and Redruth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Truro: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Truro home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Truro home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Truro, 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
Decisions to make first
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.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
