Working in Royal Leamington Spa
We cover every part of Royal Leamington Spa, including CV31, CV32 and CV33, and nearby Warwick (2.7 miles) and Kenilworth (5.2 miles).
Homes in and around Royal Leamington Spa vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Royal Leamington Spa bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. We test pressure and flow at Royal Leamington Spa surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Most of Warwickshire has hard water. If your supply in Royal Leamington Spa 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
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- 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.
Digital shower
A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.
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.
