Working in Falmouth

As well as Falmouth itself (TR11), we survey in Truro, Redruth and Camborne.

Homes in and around Falmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Falmouth so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Falmouth shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. If that holds for your street in Falmouth, 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

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.

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

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 Falmouth: questions

How much should I budget for a walk-in shower in Falmouth?

A walk-in shower in Falmouth usually costs £2,600–£6,100 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.

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 Falmouth.

Is the home survey in Falmouth 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 TR11 in Falmouth?

Yes. We cover all of Falmouth, including TR11, and nearby Truro, Redruth and Camborne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
