Working in Oswestry

In Oswestry we cover SY11; we also cover Shrewsbury, 16.4 miles away, and Wellington.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oswestry: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Oswestry 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. Whether your Oswestry bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. 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

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
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

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.

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.

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 Oswestry: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Oswestry?

Is the home survey in Oswestry 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 SY11 in Oswestry?

Yes. We cover all of Oswestry, including SY11, and nearby Shrewsbury, Wellington and Telford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Oswestry?

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.
