Working in Lower Earley

As well as Lower Earley itself (RG2, RG5 and RG6), we survey in Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne.

In Lower Earley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the door of your Lower Earley bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. For a small Lower Earley bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Water across much of Berkshire is 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

Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor

Decisions to make first

Storage

Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.

WC type

A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.

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 Lower Earley: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Lower Earley?

A small bathroom in Lower Earley usually costs £5,000–£9,500 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.

How long does a small bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Lower Earley really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover RG2 in Lower Earley?

Yes. We cover all of Lower Earley, including RG2, RG5 and RG6, and nearby Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
