Working in Horsham

We work right across Horsham — RH12 — and in neighbouring Crawley and Horley.

In Horsham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Horsham bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Horsham before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

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

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
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
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

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 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 Horsham: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Horsham?

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

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Horsham?

Building control for Horsham 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.

How long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Horsham.

Is the home survey in Horsham 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.

How do I make a family bathroom safe for young children?

Fit thermostatic valves so the shower cannot run scalding, choose a slip-resistant floor, and keep medicines and cleaning products in high or lockable storage. Soft-close toilet seats save small fingers, and any shower screen should be toughened safety glass, which good screens are as standard.
