If your Newcastle under Lyme bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.
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.
What the job includes
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
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.
