Working in Newquay

We work right across Newquay — TR7 — and in neighbouring Truro and St Austell.

Newquay gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Newquay 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. If you have young children at home in Newquay, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Newquay: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Newquay?

A family bathroom in Newquay usually costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover TR7 in Newquay?

Yes. We cover all of Newquay, including TR7, and nearby Truro, St Austell and Redruth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Newquay?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Newquay?

Building control for Newquay 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.
