Working in Purley

We work right across Purley — CR2, CR5 and CR8 — and in neighbouring Coulsdon and South Croydon.

In Purley, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Purley 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 Purley before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Water across much of Greater London is 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 layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Family bathrooms in Purley: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Purley?

A family bathroom in Purley usually costs £7,500–£13,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Purley 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 CR2 in Purley?

Yes. We cover all of Purley, including CR2, CR5 and CR8, and nearby Coulsdon, South Croydon and Carshalton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Purley?

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.
