Working in Christchurch

We work right across Christchurch — BH6, BH7 and BH23 — and in neighbouring Bournemouth and New Milton.

Homes in and around Christchurch vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Christchurch property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. If you live in a listed building in Christchurch, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.

Most of Dorset 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

Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow

Decisions to make first

Heating

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

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

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.

More about luxury bathrooms

Luxury bathrooms in Christchurch: questions

How much should I budget for a luxury bathroom in Christchurch?

A luxury bathroom in Christchurch usually costs £12,250–£25,500 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 Christchurch 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 BH6 in Christchurch?

Yes. We cover all of Christchurch, including BH6, BH7 and BH23, and nearby Bournemouth, New Milton and Ferndown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Christchurch?

What does a steam shower need?

A steam shower is a fully sealed enclosure or room with a generator that fills it with steam. It needs its own electrical circuit, a sealed door, usually a sloped ceiling so condensation runs off rather than dripping, full tanking and a drain. It has to be planned into the room from the start, not added later.
