Working in Spalding
In Spalding we cover PE11; we also cover Boston, 14.1 miles away, and Peterborough.
Homes in and around Spalding vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the shower in your Spalding home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Spalding, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. If your supply in Spalding 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
- 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 bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
Decisions to make first
Electric shower
Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.
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.
