Thermostatic Mixer Shower Install in Burslem
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A thermostatic mixer is only as accurate as the install behind it. A lot of the "temperature swing" complaints we get called out to in Burslem come down to a cartridge that was never flushed and pipes that weren't dead-tested for cross-flow.
We flush the hot and cold feeds properly, install strainers on both, and commission with a thermometer against manufacturer targets — not a hand-under-water check.
We've fitted bathroom fitting in Burslem long enough to know the houses inside out.
Thermostatic Mixer Shower Install FAQs — Burslem
- Which system suits a Burslem thermostatic install?
- Combi, unvented cylinder or gravity with a shower pump — all work, all need the correct pressure balance. We measure static and dynamic pressure at the outlet before spec.
- Is TMV-2 the right rating for family homes?
- Yes — TMV-2 caps the max temperature within safe scald limits. TMV-3 is for care settings. Both are stocked on our Burslem vans.
- How long does the install take?
- 2–5 hours for a like-for-like swap; a full day where we're re-piping to a concealed valve. Commissioned with a thermometer and left within manufacturer tolerance.
- Will it fix my temperature-swing problem?
- In most cases yes, provided the system is balanced. If the underlying issue is a cross-flow into the mains, we find and fix that during commissioning on Burslem jobs.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Burslem home liveable while the work runs.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Burslem we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
