Working in Newbury

We cover every part of Newbury, including RG14 and RG20, and nearby Thatcham (2.8 miles) and Tadley (9.2 miles).

Homes in and around Newbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether your Newbury bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you have young children at home in Newbury, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Water across much of Berkshire is 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

A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Newbury: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Newbury?

A family bathroom in Newbury usually costs £6,700–£12,250 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.

Do you cover RG14 and RG20 in Newbury?

Yes. We cover all of Newbury, including RG14 and RG20, and nearby Thatcham, Tadley and Basingstoke. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Newbury?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Newbury?

Building control for Newbury 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.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
