Working in Godalming

We work right across Godalming — GU7 — and in neighbouring Guildford and Haslemere.

Godalming gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Godalming bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. For a busy Godalming household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

Supplies across most of Surrey are 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
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet

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 Godalming: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Godalming?

Is the water hard in Godalming?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Godalming?

Building control for Godalming 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.
