Options to consider in Studley

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

How do I book a survey in Studley?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new bathroom and arrange a time to visit.

How long does a bathroom refit take?

Most refits take 7–12 working days. Strip-out and first fix take two or three days, tiling is usually the longest stage, and second fix and sealing take a day or two. Large-format tiles, layout changes and underfloor heating add time. We give you a day-by-day outline before work starts, so you know when each stage happens.

Does Stratford-on-Avon District Council need to approve my new bathroom?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Studley is provided by Stratford-on-Avon District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
