Working in Newcastle upon Tyne
In Newcastle upon Tyne we cover NE1, NE2, NE3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Gateshead, 0.9 miles away, and Felling.
Newcastle upon Tyne is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We survey in Newcastle upon Tyne before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If your Newcastle upon Tyne home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is 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
- 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
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
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.
