Working in Penzance

In Penzance we cover TR18; we also cover Camborne, 12.5 miles away, and Redruth.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penzance: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Penzance bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. We survey in Penzance before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
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 Penzance: questions

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

A family bathroom in Penzance usually costs £6,100–£11,250 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.

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 Penzance.

Is the home survey in Penzance 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 TR18 in Penzance?

Yes. We cover all of Penzance, including TR18, and nearby Camborne, Redruth and Falmouth. 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.
