What to Expect: Your Guide to a Total Bathrooms Home Survey
What to Expect: Your Guide to a Total Bathrooms Home Survey in Bath
So, you’ve decided to breathe new life into your bathroom. Whether you’re dreaming of a spa-like ensuite or a high-traffic family cloakroom, the first step is the most crucial: The Home Survey.
At Total Bathrooms, we’ve spent 25 years helping homeowners across Bath, Bristol, and the surrounding Somerset villages turn “possibilities” into blueprints. Here is exactly what happens when you book a Free Home Survey with our team.
1. The Logistics: Booking Your Slot
Our free home surveys in Bath are available to anyone within 15 miles or a 40-minute drive of our Bath showroom. You can contact the Total Bathrooms Team directly or fill out our online form. We’ll find a time that fits your schedule—no long “waiting windows,” just a professional appointment.
2. Your Bathroom Home Survey: Preparing for Our Arrival
We want to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for both you and our surveyor. We kindly ask that you open the windows in the bathroom, cloakroom, or wetroom prior to our arrival to ensure plenty of fresh ventilation during the measurement process.
3. The On-Site Consultation (Measuring & Dreaming)
This isn’t just about tape measures. During the visit, your surveyor will:
- Audit Your Space: We take the measurements of the “proposed” room, noting quirks common in Bath’s historic architecture—like thick stone walls or unique plumbing layouts.
- The “Needs vs. Wants” Chat: We’ll discuss your vision. Do you need more storage? Are you looking for a water-saving wetroom? We listen to your ideas and offer advice on what should be technically feasible for your specific plumbing system.
4. From Sketch to Screen: The CAD Design
Once your bathroom home survey is complete, the work continues at our showroom. One of our expert designers takes your home measurements and translates them into a high-definition CAD (Computer-Aided Design) plan.
This allows you to see your new bathroom in 3D, helping you visualise how different layouts and products—from vanity units to rainfall showers—actually work together in your specific space.
5. The Design Reveal
We don’t just email you a design and hope for the best. We’ll contact you to arrange a follow-up appointment at which we will have your room layout built ready to create your custom plan. You can choose:
- In-Store Appointment: Visit us in Bath to create the design and choose your ideal products in person from the showroom, for us to add to your quote. We will make alterations to the design to reflect your choices in store.
- Video Appointment: Review the 3D plans from the comfort of your sofa via a virtual call.
6. Perfection Through Collaboration
We know that the first draft might not be the final one. Our “25 years of excellence” guarantee means we are happy to meet with you, virtually or in person, as many times as necessary. We’ll tweak the tiles, swap the brassware, and adjust the layout until the design is exactly how you want it.
