How Do We Approach Bathroom Installation in Doncaster?

Most Doncaster homes we are asked about fall into one of three types. In the terraces near the centre the room usually sits in a narrow back addition with solid, cold outside walls and a floor that is rarely level. In the former mining communities some houses still have the bathroom downstairs at the back, added long after the house was built. On the newer estates at the edge of the borough it is a squarer room with stud walls and plastic pipework behind them, and the job is an upgrade rather than a rebuild. Each is worth looking at in detail before anyone can give you an honest price.

As bathroom fitters coming to Doncaster from Creswell, about eighteen miles and around forty minutes away via Worksop or the M18, we start with a free survey and design visit, then give you a fixed written price that already includes everything: the plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling and making good. There is no travel charge anywhere in our thirty-mile radius, and because every trade is ours the job runs as one programme: most complete bathroom installations take seven to twelve working days from strip-out to handover.

What Do Doncaster Homes Usually Need From a New Bathroom?

In the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Hyde Park and parts of Balby, the room in the back addition is often long and narrow, with one window and outside walls on two or three sides. Those cold walls are why condensation and mould keep coming back, so we treat insulation and ventilation as part of the design from the survey onwards: insulated board on the external wall before tiling where the room needs it, and an extractor fan ducted to the outside. Narrow rooms like these also call for fittings chosen to suit them, such as a wall-hung basin and a heated towel rail in place of a bulky radiator. Older pipe runs often turn up once the room is stripped, and we reroute them rather than tile over them.

In Edlington, Rossington and Armthorpe, some terraced houses still have the bathroom downstairs at the back. It can often move upstairs into a box room or part of a bedroom, as long as the new waste can reach the soil stack with enough fall, the floor can take a filled bath and the room can be ventilated to the outside. Where moving it does not make sense, we recommend making far better use of the room it already has, often with a walk-in shower in place of the bath.

The interwar and post-war semis on the estates around these communities usually have a small bathroom with the toilet in a separate room next door, and joining the two is one of the most common jobs we price. In Bessacarr and on the newer estates, the requests are en suites, walk-in showers, better tiling and underfloor heating in place of a builder-standard room, and the high standard of finish is what matters most.

What are we asked for most?

  • Back-addition bathrooms in the Hyde Park and Balby terraces, insulated and ventilated so the mould does not come back
  • Downstairs bathrooms in Edlington, Rossington and Armthorpe moved upstairs, or remodelled where they are
  • Bathroom and separate WC joined into one room in the interwar and post-war semis
  • En suites, walk-in showers, wet rooms and upgrades in Bessacarr and on the newer estates

Scope

What Does Our Bathroom Installation Include?

Every bathroom installation job Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens takes on covers all 10 parts of the work, from strip-out and first fix to making good and the final clean, carried out by one in-house team of seven trades. See the full list of what is included.

What does a bathroom installation in Doncaster include?

A complete installation service from Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens covers the design, the strip-out and removal of the old suite, first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering and boarding, tanking in the shower area, wall and floor tiling, installing the bath or shower, toilet, basin, taps, vanity units and towel rail, second fix and the final clean. Every stage is done by our own team and listed in the written quote, including what is not included, so nothing is added once the room is stripped.

Walk-in showers, wet rooms and easier-access bathrooms

Many Doncaster clients replace the bath with a walk-in shower as well as updating the tiles, or want a level-access wet room for a parent or for later life. On a solid ground floor a wet room is often straightforward; upstairs, we check the joists first, form the fall to the drain properly and tank the whole floor before tiling. Where the floor will not allow it, a low-profile shower tray gives almost level access.

Walk-in showers fitted

Can we choose the bathroom suite and tiles ourselves?

Yes. Plenty of clients choose their own suite, tiles and products online or from a retailer, and we install them with the same care as anything we supply. Tell us what you are considering before you order and we will help by checking the shower tray, waste and tap specifications against your room, because some combinations cause problems in particular layouts. Or Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens can supply the whole room for you.

Which building regulations apply to a bathroom in Doncaster?

A like-for-like replacement does not usually require building control approval. A new electrical circuit, such as one for an electric shower, comes under Part P, new drainage under Part H and the extractor fan under Part F, and any gas work is done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. City of Doncaster Council handles building control if the local authority route is used, and certified work is signed off by an appropriately registered tradesperson. We confirm at the survey which parts of your job are notifiable.

Bathroom Installation in Doncaster: Questions We Get Asked

Do you charge to travel to Doncaster?
No. Doncaster is about eighteen miles from our base in Creswell, around forty minutes by road, which is inside our thirty-mile radius, so there is no travel charge for any Doncaster address, or anywhere else in South Yorkshire within those thirty miles. Contact us to book the free survey; you then get a fixed written price and a start date, and the same team works the job through from the first day to the last.
What does a bathroom fitter charge per hour?
Most bathroom fitters price the whole service rather than charging by the hour, because an hourly rate tells you little about the final bill. Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens does not charge by the hour or the day: we survey the room and give a fixed written price covering every trade, so the time the job takes is our risk, not yours. Our renovation cost guide sets out what drives the price in more detail.
Which company is best for bathroom fitting?
The best bathroom fitting company for you is one that surveys before it prices, puts the full scope in writing, waterproofs the shower area properly and can show you its finished work. Ask who does the plumbing, electrics, plastering and tiling, and whether they are employed or subcontracted. Every trade at Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens is our own, we are fully insured, and we are rated 5 on Google, which says more than any advert. Our guide to choosing a fitter lists the questions worth asking.
Is it better to use a big retailer's fitting service or a local bathroom fitter?
A big retailer's fitting service usually passes the job to a subcontractor and works to its own standard specification. A local fitter surveys the room in your home, prices what it needs, and is the team you deal with from start to finish. We are happy to install a suite you have bought from a retailer, so you can choose the products you like and still have one team responsible for the work. That way you get the best of both.
Do you charge for bathroom design?
No. The design is worked out with you at the free survey: the layout, where the shower and toilet can go, what the walls and floor require, and the fittings that suit the room. You then get a fixed written price for the bathroom as designed, with no separate design fee.
What is the most expensive part of redoing a bathroom?
Usually the work you cannot see. Moving the toilet or shower means new waste runs and supplies, and in an older Doncaster terrace the walls and floor may have to be rebuilt before anything new goes on. Tiling a whole room and fitting a wet room floor also add up. The suite itself is often a smaller share of the cost than people expect, which is why we price after a survey rather than from a brochure.
Do I need to tell City of Doncaster Council about a new bathroom?
Only for some jobs. A new suite on the existing pipework in the same layout generally requires no notification. Adding a circuit for an electric shower, connecting new drainage or taking out a structural wall to enlarge the room does, and in Doncaster that goes to the council's building control unless the work is certified under a competent person scheme. At the survey we say which parts of your job, if any, are notifiable and who will deal with it.
How long does a new bathroom take to fit?
Most complete rooms take Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens seven to twelve working days from strip-out to handover. A like-for-like replacement sits at the shorter end; moving a ground-floor bathroom upstairs, a wet room or a terrace where the walls have to be rebuilt sits at the longer end. You get the programme with the quote, so you know the way the job will run before it starts.
