Working in Smethwick

We work right across Smethwick — B21, B66 and B67 — and in neighbouring West Bromwich and Birmingham.

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

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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
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 Smethwick: questions

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

A family bathroom in Smethwick usually costs £5,900–£10,750 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.

Do you cover B21 in Smethwick?

Yes. We cover all of Smethwick, including B21, B66 and B67, and nearby West Bromwich, Birmingham and Aston. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Smethwick?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Smethwick?

Building control for Smethwick 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.
