Working in Loughborough

In Loughborough we cover LE11 and LE12; we also cover Mountsorrel, 4 miles away, and Coalville.

Homes in and around Loughborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote wet rooms in Loughborough only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If your Loughborough bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Supplies across most of Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Loughborough 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

Decisions to make first

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.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

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 Loughborough: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Loughborough?

A wet room in Loughborough usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Loughborough 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 LE11 and LE12 in Loughborough?

Yes. We cover all of Loughborough, including LE11 and LE12, and nearby Mountsorrel, Coalville and Leicester. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
