Which towns do we cover in Cornwall?
Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Redruth 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
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
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.
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.
Worktop
Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to clean.
Heating
A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.
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.
