Working in Newquay

In Newquay we cover TR7; we also cover Truro, 10.4 miles away, and St Austell.

Newquay gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Newquay home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If your Newquay bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Newquay, 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

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new drain connection or changes at the soil stack can be building-regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or changes to the wiring in the room are notifiable under Part P. If the wet room is a newly formed bathroom, Approved Document F requires extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous.

Wet rooms in Newquay: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Newquay?

A wet room in Newquay usually costs £6,100–£12,250 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 water hard in Newquay?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Newquay?

Building control for Newquay 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 tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
