Working in Morecambe
We work right across Morecambe — LA1, LA3 and LA4 — and in neighbouring Heysham and Lancaster.
Homes in and around Morecambe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Morecambe, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. If the shower in your Morecambe home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Morecambe, 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- 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.
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.
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.
