Working in Longton

We work right across Longton — ST3, ST4 and ST12 — and in neighbouring Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle under Lyme.

In Longton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Longton 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 Longton, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire 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

Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Longton: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Longton?

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

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Longton?

Building control for Longton 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 Longton.

Is the home survey in Longton 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.

How do I make a family bathroom safe for young children?

Fit thermostatic valves so the shower cannot run scalding, choose a slip-resistant floor, and keep medicines and cleaning products in high or lockable storage. Soft-close toilet seats save small fingers, and any shower screen should be toughened safety glass, which good screens are as standard.
