Working in East Grinstead

As well as East Grinstead itself (RH19), we survey in Horley, Crawley and Crowborough.

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

Water across much of West Sussex is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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 East Grinstead: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in East Grinstead?

A family bathroom in East Grinstead usually costs £6,700–£12,250 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.

Is the home survey in East Grinstead really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover RH19 in East Grinstead?

Yes. We cover all of East Grinstead, including RH19, and nearby Horley, Crawley and Crowborough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in East Grinstead?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
