Working in Hailsham

As well as Hailsham itself (BN27), we survey in Eastbourne, Seaford and Bexhill-on-Sea.

Hailsham 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 Hailsham with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. We measure small bathrooms in Hailsham to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Water across much of East Sussex is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Small bathrooms in Hailsham: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Hailsham?

Is the water hard in Hailsham?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Hailsham?

Building control for Hailsham 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.
