Working in Bexley

As well as Bexley itself (DA5, DA6, DA14 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Dartford, Swanley and Barking.

In Bexley, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We measure small bathrooms in Bexley to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. For a small Bexley bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Supplies across most of Greater London 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

Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
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.

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

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 Bexley: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Bexley?

Is the water hard in Bexley?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Bexley?

Building control for Bexley 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.

How long does a small bathroom take?

Allow 5–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Bexley.

How small can a bathroom be?

There is no legal minimum size for a bathroom in an existing home; the limit is what you can use comfortably. A shower room with an 800 mm tray, a compact basin and a WC can work in about 2 m². A room with a bath needs at least one wall as long as the bath, usually 1500 to 1700 mm, plus space in front of the WC and basin.
