Working in Saltash

In Saltash we cover PL12; we also cover Plymouth, 4.5 miles away, and Plymstock.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Saltash: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Saltash home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. Where a Saltash shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

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

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

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.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

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 Saltash: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Saltash?

A shower room in Saltash 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.

Is the home survey in Saltash really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PL12 in Saltash?

Yes. We cover all of Saltash, including PL12, and nearby Plymouth, Plymstock and Bodmin. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Saltash?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
