Working in Liverpool

As well as Liverpool itself (L1, L2, L3 and 15 more postcode districts), we survey in Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland.

In a city the size of Liverpool, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Whether your Liverpool bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If your Liverpool 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
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

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.

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.

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 Liverpool: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Liverpool?

A family bathroom in Liverpool 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.

Do you cover L1 in Liverpool?

Yes. We cover all of Liverpool, including L1, L2, L3, L4 and 14 more postcode districts, and nearby Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Liverpool?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Liverpool?

Building control for Liverpool 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.
