In Gosforth we cover NE2, NE3 and NE7; we also cover Newcastle upon Tyne, 1.8 miles away, and Gateshead.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gosforth: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Gosforth home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If your second bathroom in Gosforth is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are soft. If that holds for your street in Gosforth, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

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.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

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.

A shower room in Gosforth usually costs £4,000–£8,100 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.

Is the home survey in Gosforth really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NE2 in Gosforth?

Yes. We cover all of Gosforth, including NE2, NE3 and NE7, and nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Wallsend. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gosforth?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
