Working in Poole

We cover every part of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth (4.6 miles) and Ferndown (7.4 miles).

Across a large town like Poole, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you have young children at home in Poole, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. If your Poole 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.

Water across much of Dorset is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
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
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

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.

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.

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 Poole: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Poole?

A family bathroom in Poole 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 Poole.

Is the home survey in Poole 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 BH12 in Poole?

Yes. We cover all of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth, Ferndown and Christchurch. 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.
