Working in Solihull

As well as Solihull itself (B90, B91 and B92), we survey in Shirley, Acocks Green and Washwood Heath.

Solihull has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We survey in Solihull before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If your Solihull 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 hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Solihull: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Solihull?

A family bathroom in Solihull usually costs £5,900–£10,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover B90 in Solihull?

Yes. We cover all of Solihull, including B90, B91 and B92, and nearby Shirley, Acocks Green and Washwood Heath. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Solihull?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Solihull?

Building control for Solihull 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.
