Working in Newark on Trent
As well as Newark on Trent itself (NG24), we survey in Grantham, Arnold and Nottingham.
Homes in and around Newark on Trent vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Newark on Trent bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Newark on Trent, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Newark on Trent 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
- 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
