Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Stoke-on-Trent 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

Decisions to make first
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.
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.
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.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
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.
