Working in Plymstock

As well as Plymstock itself (PL9), we survey in Plymouth, Saltash and Paignton.

Plymstock gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Plymstock shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If nobody in your Plymstock home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of Devon is soft. If that holds for your street in Plymstock, 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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Plymstock: questions

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

A shower room in Plymstock usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Plymstock 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 PL9 in Plymstock?

Yes. We cover all of Plymstock, including PL9, and nearby Plymouth, Saltash and Paignton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Plymstock?

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.
