Which towns do we cover in Tyne and Wear?

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. We plan luxury bathrooms in Newcastle upon Tyne with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed.

What the job includes

Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking

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.

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.

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

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.

Is the water hard in Tyne and Wear?

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.
