Working in Peterborough

We cover every part of Peterborough, including PE1, PE2, PE3 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Stamford (11.2 miles) and March (14.2 miles).

Peterborough is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a small Peterborough bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. We measure small bathrooms in Peterborough to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Most of Cambridgeshire has very 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

Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
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 Peterborough: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Peterborough?

A small bathroom in Peterborough 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.

Do you cover PE1 in Peterborough?

Is the water hard in Peterborough?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Peterborough?

Building control for Peterborough 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.
