Working in Tynemouth

In Tynemouth we cover NE29, NE30 and NE33; we also cover North Shields, 0.9 miles away, and South Shields.

In Tynemouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Tynemouth 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. We survey in Tynemouth before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

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

Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
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
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure

Decisions to make first

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.

Floor

Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.

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 Tynemouth: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Tynemouth?

A family bathroom in Tynemouth usually costs £5,400–£9,900 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover NE29 in Tynemouth?

Yes. We cover all of Tynemouth, including NE29, NE30 and NE33, and nearby North Shields, South Shields and Whitley Bay. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Tynemouth?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Tynemouth?

Building control for Tynemouth 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.
