Working in Peckham

We cover every part of Peckham, including SE5, SE14 and SE15, and nearby Brixton (1.7 miles) and Greenwich (2.5 miles).

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

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

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
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Peckham: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Peckham?

A small bathroom in Peckham usually costs £5,600–£10,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Peckham?

Building control for Peckham 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 Peckham.

Is the home survey in Peckham 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.

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.
