Working in Farnham

We cover every part of Farnham, including GU9 and GU10, and nearby Aldershot (2.8 miles) and Fleet (5 miles).

Homes in and around Farnham 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 Farnham before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. Whether your Farnham bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Most of Surrey has hard water. 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

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
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet

Decisions to make first

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.

Bath material

Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.

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.

Do you cover GU9 and GU10 in Farnham?

Yes. We cover all of Farnham, including GU9 and GU10, and nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Farnham?

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.
