Working in Exmouth
In Exmouth we cover EX8; we also cover Exeter, 9.2 miles away, and Newton Abbot.
In Exmouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Exmouth houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Exmouth, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Exmouth, 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
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.
