Working in Acocks Green

As well as Acocks Green itself (B25, B26 and B27), we survey in Shirley, Solihull and Washwood Heath.

Homes in and around Acocks Green vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a busy Acocks Green household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If your Acocks Green 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.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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
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.

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Acocks Green: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Acocks Green?

A family bathroom in Acocks Green usually costs £5,900–£10,750 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 B25 in Acocks Green?

Yes. We cover all of Acocks Green, including B25, B26 and B27, and nearby Shirley, Solihull and Washwood Heath. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Acocks Green?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Acocks Green?

Building control for Acocks Green 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.
