Working in Cheltenham

In Cheltenham we cover GL50, GL51 and GL53; we also cover Tewkesbury, 7.2 miles away, and Gloucester.

Across a large town like Cheltenham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whether your Cheltenham bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Cheltenham before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are 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

Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
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

Floor

Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Cheltenham: questions

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

A family bathroom in Cheltenham usually costs £6,100–£11,250 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.

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 Cheltenham.

Is the home survey in Cheltenham 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 GL50 in Cheltenham?

Yes. We cover all of Cheltenham, including GL50, GL51 and GL53, and nearby Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud. 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.
