Working in Alton

We cover every part of Alton, including GU34, and nearby Bordon (5.5 miles) and Farnham (8.8 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Alton: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Alton bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. We survey in Alton before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Most of Hampshire has 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

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.

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.

Do you cover GU34 in Alton?

Yes. We cover all of Alton, including GU34, and nearby Bordon, Farnham and Basingstoke. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Alton?

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.
