Working in Penrith
We cover every part of Penrith, including CA11, and nearby Carlisle (17.4 miles) and Kendal (23.4 miles).
Penrith gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the floor under the bath during a Penrith survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Penrith houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Supplies across most of Cumbria are soft. If that holds for your street in Penrith, 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
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.
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.
