Working in Farnborough

We cover every part of Farnborough, including GU14, and nearby Camberley (3 miles) and Aldershot (3.2 miles).

Homes in and around Farnborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Farnborough before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. For a busy Farnborough household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

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

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
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

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.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

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 Farnborough: questions

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

A family bathroom in Farnborough usually costs £6,700–£12,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover GU14 in Farnborough?

Yes. We cover all of Farnborough, including GU14, and nearby Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Farnborough?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Farnborough?

Building control for Farnborough 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.
