Working in Worcester
In Worcester we cover WR1, WR2, WR3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Droitwich, 6.1 miles away, and Great Malvern.
Worcester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We test pressure and flow at Worcester surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If the shower in your Worcester home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Water across much of Worcestershire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Worcester. 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
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
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.
