Working in Stafford

In Stafford we cover ST16 and ST17; we also cover Rugeley, 8.1 miles away, and Cannock.

Homes in and around Stafford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Stafford before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Stafford before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

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

Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

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.

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.

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 Stafford: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Stafford?

A family bathroom in Stafford 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.

Do you cover ST16 and ST17 in Stafford?

Yes. We cover all of Stafford, including ST16 and ST17, and nearby Rugeley, Cannock and Great Wyrley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Stafford?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Stafford?

Building control for Stafford 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.
