Working in Walton-on-the-Naze
As well as Walton-on-the-Naze itself (CO13 and CO14), we survey in Frinton-on-Sea, Clacton-on-Sea and Harwich.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-the-Naze: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Walton-on-the-Naze bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Walton-on-the-Naze, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Walton-on-the-Naze 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Decisions to make first
Thermostatic mixer
Blends hot and cold from your system and holds the temperature steady when someone runs a tap. The usual choice with a combi or an unvented cylinder.
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.
