Working in Wokingham

We cover every part of Wokingham, including RG40, RG41 and RG45, and nearby Crowthorne (3.4 miles) and Bracknell (3.7 miles).

Homes in and around Wokingham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Wokingham home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If the door of your Wokingham bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

Most of Berkshire has hard water. 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
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
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.

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.

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 Wokingham: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Wokingham?

A small bathroom in Wokingham 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.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Wokingham?

Building control for Wokingham 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 small bathroom take?

Allow 5–8 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 Wokingham.

Is the home survey in Wokingham 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.

Can you fit a shower bath in a small bathroom?

Yes, a shower bath is one of the most useful fittings in a small bathroom. The wider end under the shower gives you more room to stand, and a curved or angled screen keeps the water in. Shower baths come in shorter lengths, so one can often replace a standard bath in the same position.
