Working in Gloucester

We cover every part of Gloucester, including GL1, GL2 and GL4, and nearby Cheltenham (7.4 miles) and Stroud (8.2 miles).

In a city the size of Gloucester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For a small Gloucester bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If the door of your Gloucester bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

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
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
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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Gloucester: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Gloucester?

A small bathroom in Gloucester usually costs £4,600–£8,700 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover GL1 in Gloucester?

Yes. We cover all of Gloucester, including GL1, GL2 and GL4, and nearby Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gloucester?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Gloucester?

Building control for Gloucester 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.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
