Working in Canterbury

We work right across Canterbury — CT1, CT2, CT5 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Whitstable and Herne Bay.

In a city the size of Canterbury, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Whether your Canterbury bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Canterbury bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Water across much of Kent is very 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

A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

Decisions to make first

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

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.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Fitted bathrooms in Canterbury: questions

What is the price of a fitted bathroom in Canterbury?

A fitted bathroom in Canterbury usually costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Canterbury?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Canterbury?

Building control for Canterbury 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.

How long does a fitted bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Canterbury.

Can I keep my bathroom layout to save money?

Yes. Keeping the WC on the same soil stack position and the bath or shower where it is now usually saves several hundred pounds in plumbing. A fitted furniture run can still change the look of the room completely without moving the main fittings.
