Working in Newquay

As well as Newquay itself (TR7), we survey in Truro, St Austell and Redruth.

Newquay gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are converting a bathroom in Newquay into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If nobody in your Newquay home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. If that holds for your street in Newquay, 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

A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

Shower rooms in Newquay: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Newquay?

A shower room in Newquay usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover TR7 in Newquay?

Yes. We cover all of Newquay, including TR7, and nearby Truro, St Austell and Redruth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Newquay?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Newquay?

Building control for Newquay is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
