Working in Wigston Magna

As well as Wigston Magna itself (LE2, LE8 and LE18), we survey in Oadby, Leicester and Earl Shilton.

In Wigston Magna, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Wigston Magna before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Wigston Magna before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Supplies across most of Leicestershire are 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

Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows

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 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 Wigston Magna: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Wigston Magna?

A family bathroom in Wigston Magna usually costs £5,800–£10,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Wigston Magna?

Building control for Wigston Magna 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.

How long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Wigston Magna.

Is the home survey in Wigston Magna 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.

How do I make a family bathroom safe for young children?

Fit thermostatic valves so the shower cannot run scalding, choose a slip-resistant floor, and keep medicines and cleaning products in high or lockable storage. Soft-close toilet seats save small fingers, and any shower screen should be toughened safety glass, which good screens are as standard.
