Working in Redruth

We cover every part of Redruth, including TR15 and TR16, and nearby Camborne (3.5 miles) and Truro (7.8 miles).

Homes in and around Redruth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a busy Redruth household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If you have young children at home in Redruth, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Bath material

Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.

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 Redruth: questions

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

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

Do you cover TR15 and TR16 in Redruth?

Yes. We cover all of Redruth, including TR15 and TR16, and nearby Camborne, Truro and Falmouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Redruth?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Redruth?

Building control for Redruth 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.
