Working in Speke

In Speke we cover L24, L25 and L26; we also cover Halewood, 1.4 miles away, and Hunts Cross.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Speke: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Speke before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. For a busy Speke household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

Water across much of Merseyside is 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

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 Speke: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Speke?

A family bathroom in Speke usually costs £5,600–£10,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

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 Speke.

Is the home survey in Speke 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 L24 in Speke?

Yes. We cover all of Speke, including L24, L25 and L26, and nearby Halewood, Hunts Cross and Garston. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you fit a separate bath and shower in a family bathroom?

Usually only in a room of about 6 m² or more, which leaves space for a 1700 mm bath, a shower enclosure, a basin and a WC without the room feeling crowded. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a screen gives most of the benefit. We test both layouts against your measurements at the survey.
