Working in Saltash

In Saltash we cover PL12; we also cover Plymouth, 4.5 miles away, and Plymstock.

Saltash gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure small bathrooms in Saltash to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If your Saltash bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
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

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.

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.
