Working in Washwood Heath

As well as Washwood Heath itself (B8, B9 and B24), we survey in Aston, Birmingham and Acocks Green.

Homes in and around Washwood Heath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Washwood Heath before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Whether your Washwood Heath bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

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

Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
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

Decisions to make first

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

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.

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 Washwood Heath: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Washwood Heath?

A family bathroom in Washwood Heath 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 B8 in Washwood Heath?

Yes. We cover all of Washwood Heath, including B8, B9 and B24, and nearby Aston, Birmingham and Acocks Green. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Washwood Heath?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Washwood Heath?

Building control for Washwood Heath 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.
