Working in Fareham

We work right across Fareham — PO14, PO15 and PO16 — and in neighbouring Gosport and Portsmouth.

Homes in and around Fareham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Fareham 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. Whether your Fareham bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Supplies across most of Hampshire 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet

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.

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.

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 Fareham: questions

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

A family bathroom in Fareham usually costs £6,700–£12,250 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.

Do you cover PO14 in Fareham?

Yes. We cover all of Fareham, including PO14, PO15 and PO16, and nearby Gosport, Portsmouth and Southsea. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Fareham?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Fareham?

Building control for Fareham 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.
