Working in Felling

We cover every part of Felling, including NE8, NE9 and NE10, and nearby Gateshead (1.4 miles) and Newcastle upon Tyne (2.2 miles).

Homes in and around Felling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have young children at home in Felling, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. For a busy Felling household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
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
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

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 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.

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Felling: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Felling?

A family bathroom in Felling usually costs £5,400–£9,900 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.

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 Felling.

Is the home survey in Felling 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.

Do you cover NE8 in Felling?

Yes. We cover all of Felling, including NE8, NE9 and NE10, and nearby Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Hebburn. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you fit a separate bath and shower in a family bathroom?

Usually only in a room of about 6 m² or more, which leaves space for a 1700 mm bath, a shower enclosure, a basin and a WC without the room feeling crowded. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a screen gives most of the benefit. We test both layouts against your measurements at the survey.
