Working in Esher
As well as Esher itself (KT7 and KT10), we survey in East Molesey, West Molesey and Walton-on-Thames.
Homes in and around Esher vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Esher before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. We survey in Esher before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Water across much of Surrey 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
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- 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
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.
