Working in Golborne

In Golborne we cover WA3, WA12 and WN4; we also cover Newton-le-Willows, 1.9 miles away, and Ashton in Makerfield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Golborne: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey in Golborne before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If your Golborne 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.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. 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

A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Golborne: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Golborne?

A family bathroom in Golborne usually costs £5,600–£10,250 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.

Is the home survey in Golborne 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 WA3 in Golborne?

Yes. We cover all of Golborne, including WA3, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton in Makerfield and Leigh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Golborne?

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.
