Working in Newton Aycliffe

We cover every part of Newton Aycliffe, including DL4 and DL5, and nearby Bishop Auckland (4.9 miles) and Spennymoor (5.7 miles).

In Newton Aycliffe, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you live in a terrace or semi in Newton Aycliffe with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. If your Newton Aycliffe bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. 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
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower

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.

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.
