Working in Frome

We work right across Frome — BA11 — and in neighbouring Westbury and Warminster.

In Frome, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Frome bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. If your Frome home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.

Most of Somerset 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

Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

Bathroom renovation in Frome: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom renovation in Frome?

Is the home survey in Frome 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 BA11 in Frome?

Yes. We cover all of Frome, including BA11, and nearby Westbury, Warminster and Trowbridge. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
