Working in Eltham

In Eltham we cover SE2, SE9, SE18 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Blackheath, 2.1 miles away, and Welling.

In Eltham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If nobody in your Eltham home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If your Eltham bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Water across much of Greater London is 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
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
