Working in Exmouth

We work right across Exmouth — EX8 — and in neighbouring Exeter and Newton Abbot.

Homes in and around Exmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you live in a terrace or semi in Exmouth with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. For a small Exmouth bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. 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

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
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin

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.

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Exmouth: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Exmouth?

A small bathroom in Exmouth usually costs £4,600–£8,700 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Exmouth?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Exmouth?

Building control for Exmouth 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.

What storage works in a small bathroom?

Storage that comes off the floor works well: a wall-hung vanity under the basin, a mirror cabinet above it and recessed niches in the shower wall. Boxing around the soil stack or cistern can often be rebuilt with a shelf on top. Avoid deep units that stop the door opening fully.
