Working in Surbiton

In Surbiton we cover KT1, KT5 and KT6; we also cover East Molesey, 2.3 miles away, and Esher.

In Surbiton, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you have young children at home in Surbiton, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Surbiton 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

A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Surbiton: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Surbiton?

A family bathroom in Surbiton usually costs £7,500–£13,750 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.

Do you cover KT1 in Surbiton?

Yes. We cover all of Surbiton, including KT1, KT5 and KT6, and nearby East Molesey, Esher and West Molesey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Surbiton?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Surbiton?

Building control for Surbiton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
