Working in Bath

We work right across Bath — BA1 and BA2 — and in neighbouring Keynsham and Trowbridge.

In a city the size of Bath, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Bath before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. Whether your Bath 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 Somerset 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

A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

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.

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 Bath: questions

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

A family bathroom in Bath usually costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Bath?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Bath?

Building control for Bath 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.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
