Working in Truro

As well as Truro itself (TR1), we survey in Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay.

Truro gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Truro bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If you are planning ahead in Truro 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 Truro, 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

Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

Decisions to make first

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

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.

Is the water hard in Truro?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
