Working in Ilkeston

In Ilkeston we cover DE7 and NG10; we also cover Eastwood, 2.1 miles away, and Heanor.

Homes in and around Ilkeston vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have young children at home in Ilkeston, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. If your Ilkeston 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.

Supplies across most of Derbyshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. 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
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
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.

Family bathrooms in Ilkeston: questions

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

A family bathroom in Ilkeston usually costs £5,800–£10,500 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.

Is the home survey in Ilkeston 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 DE7 and NG10 in Ilkeston?

Yes. We cover all of Ilkeston, including DE7 and NG10, and nearby Eastwood, Heanor and Long Eaton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Ilkeston?

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.
