Working in Christchurch

We cover every part of Christchurch, including BH6, BH7 and BH23, and nearby Bournemouth (4.4 miles) and New Milton (5.2 miles).

Homes in and around Christchurch vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Christchurch bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. We survey in Christchurch before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Most of Dorset has hard water. 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

A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

Decisions to make first

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Christchurch: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Christchurch?

Bathroom fitting in Christchurch usually costs £2,200–£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.

Is the home survey in Christchurch 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 BH6 in Christchurch?

Yes. We cover all of Christchurch, including BH6, BH7 and BH23, and nearby Bournemouth, New Milton and Ferndown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Christchurch?

Should I buy my own bathroom suite or let the fitter supply it?

Buying your own gives you full choice and can save money in a sale, but you take on deliveries, checking every box and any returns. Supply and fit puts that on the fitter and gives you one price for everything. If you are unsure, ask for both options on the same quote. See fitted bathrooms for supply and fit.
