Working in Truro

We cover every part of Truro, including TR1, and nearby Falmouth (7.7 miles) and Redruth (7.8 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Truro: free survey, written quote, one team. If you have young children at home in Truro, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. We survey in Truro before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. 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

Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure

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.

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.

Family bathrooms in Truro: questions

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

A family bathroom in Truro usually costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Truro 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 TR1 in Truro?

Yes. We cover all of Truro, including TR1, and nearby Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Truro?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
