Working in Devizes
We work right across Devizes — SN10 — and in neighbouring Calne and Melksham.
Devizes gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the shower in your Devizes home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you want a shower in your Devizes 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 Wiltshire has hard water. If your supply in Devizes 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
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
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.
