Working in Ely

As well as Ely itself (CB6 and CB7), we survey in Newmarket, March and St Ives.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ely: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure small bathrooms in Ely to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If you live in a terrace or semi in Ely with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Water across much of Cambridgeshire is 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

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
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

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.

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.

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 Ely: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Ely?

A small bathroom in Ely usually costs £4,800–£9,000 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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 Ely.

Is the home survey in Ely 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 CB6 and CB7 in Ely?

Yes. We cover all of Ely, including CB6 and CB7, and nearby Newmarket, March and St Ives. 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.
