Working in March

We cover every part of March, including PE15, and nearby Wisbech (8.5 miles) and Ely (12.8 miles).

March gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in March before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. If your March 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.

Water across much of Cambridgeshire is very 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

Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

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 March: questions

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

A family bathroom in March usually costs £6,400–£11,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover PE15 in March?

Yes. We cover all of March, including PE15, and nearby Wisbech, Ely and Peterborough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in March?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in March?

Building control for March 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.
