Working in Croydon

As well as Croydon itself (CR0, CR2, CR5 and 5 more postcode districts), we survey in Mitcham, Purley and Streatham.

In Croydon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Croydon bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. For a small Croydon bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Most of Greater London has very 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

A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
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
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.

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

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 Croydon: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Croydon?

A small bathroom in Croydon usually costs £5,600–£10,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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 Croydon.

Is the home survey in Croydon really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CR0 in Croydon?

Yes. We cover all of Croydon, including CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Mitcham, Purley and Streatham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
