Choices to weigh up in Castle Bromwich
Panels or tiles
Large-format tiles look smart but need flat walls, careful setting out and waterproofing in the shower area. Waterproof wall panels go up faster, have fewer grout lines and can be fitted over sound existing surfaces. Many bathrooms mix the two, with panels in the shower and tiles elsewhere to suit both budget and look.
Bath with shower over
Still the most practical layout for many family bathrooms, especially with young children. A shower over the bath needs a fixed glass screen, a well-sealed bath and tiling or panelling to full height. Choosing between a mixer shower and an electric shower depends on your boiler and water pressure, which we test at the survey.

What guarantees come with a new bathroom?
Baths, trays, toilets, taps, showers and furniture carry manufacturers' guarantees, and their terms are set out in your quote. Some shower manufacturers ask for an annual service or a registration after installation, and we'll tell you if yours does. You'll receive the electrical certificate for any notifiable work. If anything we fitted isn't right, call us.
Does Solihull Council need to approve my new bathroom?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Castle Bromwich is provided by Solihull Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
