Working in Sutton
We work right across Sutton — KT4, SM1, SM2 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Banstead and Ewell.
In Sutton, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Sutton, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. If the shower in your Sutton home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Sutton 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 check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
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.
