Which towns do we cover in Shropshire?
Water across much of Shropshire is moderately hard. 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 you live in a listed building in Telford, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.
What the job includes
- 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
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Decisions to make first
Shower system
A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.
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.
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.
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.
