Working in Hedge End

We work right across Hedge End — SO30 — and in neighbouring Eastleigh and Southampton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hedge End: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Hedge End 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. We survey in Hedge End 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

Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure

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.

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 Hedge End: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Hedge End?

A family bathroom in Hedge End usually costs £6,700–£12,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Yes. We cover all of Hedge End, including SO30, and nearby Eastleigh, Southampton and Hythe. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hedge End?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Hedge End?

Building control for Hedge End 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.
