Working in Wellington

We work right across Wellington — TF1 and TF5 — and in neighbouring Telford and Shrewsbury.

Wellington gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Wellington bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Wellington before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Supplies across most of Shropshire are 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

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

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 Wellington: questions

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

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Wellington?

Building control for Wellington is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Wellington.

What is the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom?

Porcelain tiles are the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom: they do not absorb water and are hard to scratch. Choose a matt or textured finish so wet feet do not slip. Luxury vinyl tile is warmer underfoot and costs less, but it can be dented and needs a perfectly flat subfloor.
