Working in Shrewsbury

We work right across Shrewsbury — SY1, SY2 and SY3 — and in neighbouring Wellington and Telford.

Shrewsbury has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you have young children at home in Shrewsbury, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Shrewsbury before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Water across much of Shropshire 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
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Shrewsbury: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Shrewsbury?

A family bathroom in Shrewsbury usually costs £5,900–£10,750 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 Shrewsbury.

Is the home survey in Shrewsbury 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 SY1 in Shrewsbury?

Yes. We cover all of Shrewsbury, including SY1, SY2 and SY3, and nearby Wellington, Telford and Oswestry. 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.
