Working in Middlesbrough

In Middlesbrough we cover TS1, TS2, TS3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Billingham, 2.4 miles away, and Stockton-on-Tees.

Across a large town like Middlesbrough, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you have young children at home in Middlesbrough, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. Whether your Middlesbrough bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Water across much of North Yorkshire is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. 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
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail

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 Middlesbrough: questions

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

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

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 Middlesbrough.

Is the home survey in Middlesbrough 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 TS1 in Middlesbrough?

Yes. We cover all of Middlesbrough, including TS1, TS2, TS3, TS4 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby-on-Tees. 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.
