Working in Barking
We work right across Barking — IG11, RM6, RM8 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Ilford and Becontree.
In Barking, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Whether your Barking 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 Barking before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Decisions to make first
Bath material
Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.
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.
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.
