Working in Aylesbury

We work right across Aylesbury — HP19, HP20 and HP21 — and in neighbouring Leighton Buzzard and Berkhamsted.

In Aylesbury, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Aylesbury bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. For a small Aylesbury 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 Buckinghamshire 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
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Aylesbury: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Aylesbury?

Is the water hard in Aylesbury?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Aylesbury?

Building control for Aylesbury 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 Aylesbury.

How small can a bathroom be?

There is no legal minimum size for a bathroom in an existing home; the limit is what you can use comfortably. A shower room with an 800 mm tray, a compact basin and a WC can work in about 2 m². A room with a bath needs at least one wall as long as the bath, usually 1500 to 1700 mm, plus space in front of the WC and basin.
