Which towns do we cover in Bristol?
Water across much of Bristol is 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. If your Bishopsworth bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.
What the job includes
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Decisions to make first
Furniture finish
Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.
Bath, shower or both
Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.
Rules that apply in England
Like-for-like bathroom refits do not need planning permission. Electrical work in a room with a bath or shower must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection on every circuit and IP-rated fittings in the zones around the bath and shower. New toilets, taps and showers must meet the water fittings rules where you live, which limit flush volumes and stop dirty water flowing back into the mains.
In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.
