Working in Long Eaton

As well as Long Eaton itself (DE72, NG9 and NG10), we survey in Ilkeston, Nottingham and West Bridgford.

Homes in and around Long Eaton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure small bathrooms in Long Eaton to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If your Long Eaton bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Most of Derbyshire 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

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
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

WC type

A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.

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.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Long Eaton?

Building control for Long Eaton 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.

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 Long Eaton.

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.
