Working in Billericay

As well as Billericay itself (CM12), we survey in Basildon, Wickford and Brentwood.

Homes in and around Billericay vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Billericay home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. We measure small bathrooms in Billericay to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Supplies across most of Essex are very 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
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

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.

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.

Small bathrooms in Billericay: questions

How long does a small bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Billericay really free?

Do you cover CM12 in Billericay?

Yes. We cover all of Billericay, including CM12, and nearby Basildon, Wickford and Brentwood. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
