Working in Exmouth
We cover every part of Exmouth, including EX8, and nearby Exeter (9.2 miles) and Newton Abbot (11 miles).
Homes in and around Exmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Exmouth bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If the shower in your Exmouth home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
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
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Digital shower
A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.
Exposed or concealed
An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.
Rules that apply in England
In England, an electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P. The Part G limit of 48 °C applies to a new bath in a new dwelling or one created by change of use, not to a shower, but a thermostatic valve gives similar protection. An unvented cylinder fitted to improve the shower must be installed by a G3-qualified installer.
