Working in Alfreton

In Alfreton we cover DE55; we also cover Ripley, 4.5 miles away, and Sutton in Ashfield.

Alfreton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you live in a terrace or semi in Alfreton with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. If nobody in your Alfreton home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Supplies across most of Derbyshire are moderately hard. 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

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
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

Decisions to make first

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.

Keep the bath or go walk-in

A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.

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.
