Working in Exeter

We cover every part of Exeter, including EX1, EX2, EX3 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Exmouth (9.2 miles) and Tiverton (12.4 miles).

In a city the size of Exeter, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you live in a terrace or semi in Exeter 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 Exeter home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Water across much of Devon is 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
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover

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.

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.

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 Exeter: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Exeter?

A small bathroom in Exeter usually costs £4,600–£8,700 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.

How long does a small bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Exeter really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover EX1 in Exeter?

Yes. We cover all of Exeter, including EX1, EX2, EX3 and EX4, and nearby Exmouth, Tiverton and Newton Abbot. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
