Working in Haywards Heath

In Haywards Heath we cover RH16; we also cover Burgess Hill, 3 miles away, and Crawley.

Homes in and around Haywards Heath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have young children at home in Haywards Heath, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. For a busy Haywards Heath household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

Most of West Sussex has hard water. 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

Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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.

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 Haywards Heath: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Haywards Heath?

A family bathroom in Haywards Heath 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.

Do you cover RH16 in Haywards Heath?

Yes. We cover all of Haywards Heath, including RH16, and nearby Burgess Hill, Crawley and Uckfield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Haywards Heath?

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

Building control for Haywards 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.
