Homes in and around Houghton-Le-Spring 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 Houghton-Le-Spring property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered.
Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are 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.
What the job includes
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
- A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
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.
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.
