Working in Hereford

We cover every part of Hereford, including HR1 and HR4, and nearby Ross on Wye (11.6 miles) and Leominster (11.7 miles).

In a city the size of Hereford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Hereford 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 Hereford bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Water across much of Herefordshire is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

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.

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 Hereford: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Hereford?

A family bathroom in Hereford usually costs £5,900–£10,750 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 HR1 and HR4 in Hereford?

Yes. We cover all of Hereford, including HR1 and HR4, and nearby Ross on Wye, Leominster and Ledbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hereford?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Hereford?

Building control for Hereford 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.
