Working in Welling

We cover every part of Welling, including DA6, DA15 and DA16, and nearby Bexley (2.3 miles) and Eltham (2.5 miles).

In Welling, 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 Welling home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. For a small Welling bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

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

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Welling?

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.
