Homes in and around Washwood Heath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything.

What the job includes

A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed

A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation

Decisions to make first

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

Tile setting-out

Centring tiles on the window, basin or niche avoids thin slivers at the edges. Large tiles mean fewer joints but need flatter walls.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new connection to the soil stack or new drainage can be building regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or alterations to circuits in the bathroom are notifiable under Part P. Where a new bathroom is formed, Approved Document F asks for extract at 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous.

Bathroom design in Washwood Heath: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Washwood Heath?

Is the water hard in Washwood Heath?

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in Washwood Heath?

Building control for Washwood Heath is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Which bathroom layout changes cost the most?

Moving the WC is usually the costliest single change, because it connects to the soil stack through a 110 mm waste that needs a steady fall. Forming a level-access shower floor and moving a door or wall also add significant cost. Moving a basin a short distance, or swapping a bath for a shower in the same space, costs much less.
