Working in Cambridge

In Cambridge we cover CB1, CB2 and CB4; we also cover Royston, 12.1 miles away, and St Ives.

Cambridge is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Cambridge before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. If your Cambridge home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows.

Most of Cambridgeshire has very 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

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
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet

Decisions to make first

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.

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

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 Cambridge: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Cambridge?

A family bathroom in Cambridge usually costs £6,400–£11,750 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

How long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days 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 Cambridge.

Is the home survey in Cambridge 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 CB1 in Cambridge?

Yes. We cover all of Cambridge, including CB1, CB2 and CB4, and nearby Royston, St Ives and Newmarket. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you fit a separate bath and shower in a family bathroom?

Usually only in a room of about 6 m² or more, which leaves space for a 1700 mm bath, a shower enclosure, a basin and a WC without the room feeling crowded. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a screen gives most of the benefit. We test both layouts against your measurements at the survey.
