Working in Kippax

As well as Kippax itself (LS25, LS26 and WF10), we survey in Castleford, Pontefract and Lofthouse.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kippax: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey in Kippax before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If you have young children at home in Kippax, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is 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

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
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

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.

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 Kippax: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Kippax?

A family bathroom in Kippax usually costs £5,600–£10,250 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.

Do you cover LS25 in Kippax?

Yes. We cover all of Kippax, including LS25, LS26 and WF10, and nearby Castleford, Pontefract and Lofthouse. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kippax?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Kippax?

Building control for Kippax 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.
