Working in Southampton

We cover every part of Southampton, including SO14, SO15, SO16 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Hythe (3 miles) and Totton (3.9 miles).

Southampton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We plan luxury bathrooms in Southampton with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed. For a period house in Southampton with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are 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

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
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting

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.

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 Southampton: questions

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

A luxury bathroom in Southampton usually costs £13,500–£28,000 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.

Do you cover SO14 in Southampton?

Yes. We cover all of Southampton, including SO14, SO15, SO16, SO17 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Hythe, Totton and Hedge End. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Southampton?

Who handles building control for a luxury bathroom in Southampton?

Building control for Southampton 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.
