Working in Barnsley

As well as Barnsley itself (S63, S70, S71 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Darton, Hoyland Nether and Wombwell.

In Barnsley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Barnsley bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you have young children at home in Barnsley, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Supplies across most of South Yorkshire 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Barnsley: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Barnsley?

A family bathroom in Barnsley usually costs £5,600–£10,250 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.

Is the home survey in Barnsley 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 S63 in Barnsley?

Yes. We cover all of Barnsley, including S63, S70, S71 and S75, and nearby Darton, Hoyland Nether and Wombwell. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Barnsley?

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.
