Working in Gosport

As well as Gosport itself (PO12 and PO13), we survey in Portsmouth, Southsea and Fareham.

Gosport has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Whether your Gosport bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If your Gosport 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.

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

Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
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

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.

Family bathrooms in Gosport: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Gosport?

A family bathroom in Gosport 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.

Is the home survey in Gosport 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 PO12 and PO13 in Gosport?

Yes. We cover all of Gosport, including PO12 and PO13, and nearby Portsmouth, Southsea and Fareham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gosport?

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.
