Working in Waltham Abbey

As well as Waltham Abbey itself (EN9), we survey in Cheshunt, Chingford and Enfield.

Waltham Abbey gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a busy Waltham Abbey household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. Whether your Waltham Abbey bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Supplies across most of Essex are very 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

A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows

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.

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.

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 Waltham Abbey: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Waltham Abbey?

A family bathroom in Waltham Abbey usually costs £6,400–£11,750 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.

Is the home survey in Waltham Abbey really free?

Do you cover EN9 in Waltham Abbey?

Yes. We cover all of Waltham Abbey, including EN9, and nearby Cheshunt, Chingford and Enfield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Waltham Abbey?

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.
