Working in Brighton

In Brighton we cover BN1, BN2, BN3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Shoreham-by-Sea, 5.9 miles away, and Peacehaven.

Brighton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you live in a listed building in Brighton, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall. We plan luxury bathrooms in Brighton with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed.

Water across much of East Sussex is hard. 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

A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow

Decisions to make first

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.

Wall and floor finish

Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.

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.

Luxury bathrooms in Brighton: questions

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

A luxury bathroom in Brighton usually costs £13,500–£28,000 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Brighton?

Who handles building control for a luxury bathroom in Brighton?

Building control for Brighton 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.

Can my floor take a freestanding bath?

Most floors can take an acrylic freestanding bath, but stone-resin and cast-iron baths are far heavier, and the weight sits on a small area. We check the joist size, span and condition at the survey; strengthening a timber floor or spreading the load is sometimes needed, and it is planned before the bath is ordered.
