Working in Tewkesbury
In Tewkesbury we cover GL20; we also cover Cheltenham, 7.2 miles away, and Gloucester.
Tewkesbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Tewkesbury 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 Tewkesbury home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Tewkesbury 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
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
