Working in Luton

We work right across Luton — LU1, LU2, LU3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Dunstable and Harpenden.

Luton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you live in a terrace or semi in Luton with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. We measure small bathrooms in Luton to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Supplies across most of Bedfordshire are 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

Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor

Decisions to make first

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

Rules that apply in England

In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Luton: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Luton?

A small bathroom in Luton usually costs £4,800–£9,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover LU1 in Luton?

Yes. We cover all of Luton, including LU1, LU2, LU3 and LU4, and nearby Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Luton?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Luton?

Building control for Luton 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.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
