Working in Gloucester

We cover every part of Gloucester, including GL1, GL2 and GL4, and nearby Cheltenham (7.4 miles) and Stroud (8.2 miles).

In a city the size of Gloucester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. In Gloucester flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If your Gloucester home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

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.

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.

More about bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation in Gloucester: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Gloucester?

A bathroom renovation in Gloucester usually costs £7,600–£15,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Gloucester?

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Gloucester?

Building control for Gloucester 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.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
