Working in Castleford

In Castleford we cover WF6 and WF10; we also cover Kippax, 2.9 miles away, and Pontefract.

In Castleford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Castleford bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you have young children at home in Castleford, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. 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
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Castleford: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Castleford?

A family bathroom in Castleford usually costs £5,600–£10,250 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 Castleford 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 WF6 and WF10 in Castleford?

Yes. We cover all of Castleford, including WF6 and WF10, and nearby Kippax, Pontefract and Lofthouse. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Castleford?

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.
