Working in Melton Mowbray

We cover every part of Melton Mowbray, including LE13 and LE14, and nearby Oakham (9.4 miles) and Mountsorrel (11.5 miles).

In Melton Mowbray, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Melton Mowbray bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. We survey in Melton Mowbray before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Most of Leicestershire 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

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
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Melton Mowbray: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Melton Mowbray?

A family bathroom in Melton Mowbray usually costs £5,800–£10,500 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.

Do you cover LE13 and LE14 in Melton Mowbray?

Yes. We cover all of Melton Mowbray, including LE13 and LE14, and nearby Oakham, Mountsorrel and Loughborough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Melton Mowbray?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Melton Mowbray?

Building control for Melton Mowbray 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.
