Working in Newport

We cover every part of Newport, including PO30, PO32 and PO33, and nearby Cowes (4.2 miles) and Ryde (6 miles). Because Newport is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Newport gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If nobody in your Newport home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. For shower rooms in Newport, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Water across much of the Isle of Wight is hard. If your supply in Newport is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

Shower rooms in Newport: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Newport?

A shower room in Newport usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover PO30 in Newport?

Yes. We cover all of Newport, including PO30, PO32 and PO33, and nearby Cowes, Ryde and Sandown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Newport?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Newport?

Building control for Newport 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.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
