Thornaby-on-Tees gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For an en-suite in Thornaby-on-Tees, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Thornaby-on-Tees home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Thornaby-on-Tees. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door

Decisions to make first

Night lighting

A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.

Refit or new en-suite

A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.

Is a macerator toilet OK in an en-suite?

A macerator is a legitimate option where gravity drainage cannot reach the soil stack, as long as there is another WC in the house on gravity drainage. It needs an electrical supply, makes some noise while it runs and should only take toilet waste and paper. Models that also take the shower and basin waste are available.
