What the job includes

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

Decisions to make first

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
