Working in Guisborough
We cover every part of Guisborough, including TS14, and nearby Redcar (5.7 miles) and Middlesbrough (7.7 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Guisborough: free survey, written quote, one team. If you want a shower in your Guisborough home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. If your Guisborough bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Water across much of North Yorkshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Guisborough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
Decisions to make first
Head and handset
A handset on a riser rail is versatile and easy for rinsing; a fixed overhead head feels generous but needs strong flow behind it.
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.
