Which towns do we cover in Derbyshire?

Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Derby home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.

What the job includes

Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it

Decisions to make first

Brassware finish

Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.

Heating

Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.

Lighting

Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.

Freestanding bath material

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.

Rules that apply in England

Internal bathroom work does not need planning permission, but a listed building needs listed building consent for alterations affecting its character, including new soil or vent pipes through walls. Heavy baths and stone floors add load to the floor structure, which should be checked first. Electrics must meet BS 7671, including the IP ratings in each zone and 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit.

In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

What makes a bathroom feel luxurious?

Space around the fittings, warmth underfoot, good light and fewer visible fixings make a bathroom feel luxurious. Concealed valves and cisterns, large tiles with tight grout lines, frameless glass and lighting on dimmers matter more than any single expensive piece.
