Working in Cheltenham
We work right across Cheltenham — GL50, GL51 and GL53 — and in neighbouring Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
Across a large town like Cheltenham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you live in a terrace or semi in Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.
Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. 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
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
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.
