Working in Wimborne Minster
We cover every part of Wimborne Minster, including BH17, BH18 and BH21, and nearby Ferndown (4 miles) and Poole (4.8 miles).
Wimborne Minster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the shower in your Wimborne Minster home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. We test pressure and flow at Wimborne Minster surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water across much of Dorset is hard. If your supply in Wimborne Minster is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
Decisions to make first
Power shower
A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.
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.
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.
