Working in Bodmin

As well as Bodmin itself (PL31), we survey in St Austell, Newquay and Truro.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bodmin: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure walk-in showers in Bodmin so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If you are planning ahead in Bodmin for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. If that holds for your street in Bodmin, 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 stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

Decisions to make first

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

Rules that apply in England

In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.

Walk-in showers in Bodmin: questions

What is the price of a walk-in shower in Bodmin?

Is the water hard in Bodmin?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Bodmin?

Building control for Bodmin 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.

How long does a walk-in shower take?

Allow 2–5 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Bodmin.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
