Working in Sandown

We work right across Sandown — PO36 — and in neighbouring Ryde and Newport. Because Sandown is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Sandown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Sandown before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. We survey in Sandown before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Water across much of the Isle of Wight 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

Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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

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 Sandown: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Sandown?

A family bathroom in Sandown usually costs £6,700–£12,250 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.

Is the home survey in Sandown 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 PO36 in Sandown?

Yes. We cover all of Sandown, including PO36, and nearby Ryde, Newport and Cowes. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Sandown?

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.
