As well as Stourport-on-Severn itself (DY13), we survey in Kidderminster, Droitwich and Bromsgrove.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stourport-on-Severn: free survey, written quote, one team. If the shower in your Stourport-on-Severn home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you want a shower in your Stourport-on-Severn home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stourport-on-Severn. 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 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
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.
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.
