Working in Melksham

In Melksham we cover SN12; we also cover Trowbridge, 4.8 miles away, and Chippenham.

Melksham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure Melksham bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Melksham homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts

Decisions to make first

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

Tile setting-out

Centring tiles on the window, basin or niche avoids thin slivers at the edges. Large tiles mean fewer joints but need flatter walls.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new connection to the soil stack or new drainage can be building regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or alterations to circuits in the bathroom are notifiable under Part P. Where a new bathroom is formed, Approved Document F asks for extract at 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in Melksham: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Melksham?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Melksham typically costs £6,600–£12,250 including VAT.

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in Melksham?

Building control for Melksham 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 new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design 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 Melksham.

Is the home survey in Melksham 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 I need building regulations approval for a new bathroom layout?

Sometimes. Moving fittings within an existing bathroom is not always building regulations work, but a new connection to the soil stack, new drainage, new electrical circuits or structural changes can be. Forming a bathroom where there was not one before also brings in ventilation rules. We flag what applies when we draw the layout.
