Working in Totton

In Totton we cover SO40; we also cover Southampton, 3.9 miles away, and Romsey.

Homes in and around Totton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have young children at home in Totton, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. We survey in Totton before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Water across much of Hampshire is 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

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
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.

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 Totton: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Totton?

A family bathroom in Totton 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. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Totton 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 SO40 in Totton?

Yes. We cover all of Totton, including SO40, and nearby Southampton, Romsey and Hythe. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Totton?

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.
