Working in Corby

We work right across Corby — NN17 and NN18 — and in neighbouring Kettering and Market Harborough.

Homes in and around Corby vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether your Corby bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. For a busy Corby household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

Water across much of Northamptonshire is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

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.

Family bathrooms in Corby: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Corby?

A family bathroom in Corby usually costs £5,800–£10,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

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 Corby.

Is the home survey in Corby 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 NN17 and NN18 in Corby?

Yes. We cover all of Corby, including NN17 and NN18, and nearby Kettering, Market Harborough and Oakham. 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.
