Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Garston: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Garston before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. We survey in Garston before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
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.
Floor
Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.
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.
