What does a new shower cost in Baildon?

Working in Baildon
We work right across Baildon — BD16, BD17 and BD18 — and in neighbouring Shipley and Bingley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Baildon: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Baildon bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If you want a shower in your Baildon home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Baildon, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
