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 your Newquay bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. We measure walk-in showers in Newquay so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
