Working in Plymstock

In Plymstock we cover PL9; we also cover Plymouth, 2.4 miles away, and Saltash.

Plymstock gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Plymstock 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 are refreshing a family bathroom in Plymstock before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Most of Devon 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
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
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

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.

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 Plymstock: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Plymstock?

A family bathroom in Plymstock 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.

Is the home survey in Plymstock 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 PL9 in Plymstock?

Yes. We cover all of Plymstock, including PL9, and nearby Plymouth, Saltash and Paignton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Plymstock?

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.
