Working in Bognor Regis
As well as Bognor Regis itself (PO21 and PO22), we survey in Chichester, Littlehampton and Emsworth.
Homes in and around Bognor Regis vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Bognor Regis 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
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
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.
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.
