Working in Caernarfon

As well as Caernarfon itself (LL55), we survey in Bangor, Holyhead and Llandudno.

Caernarfon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the door of your Caernarfon bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. We measure small bathrooms in Caernarfon to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Most of Gwynedd is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part P, with a wider list of notifiable work than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates. Expect the electrical work to be notified and certified.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Caernarfon: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Caernarfon?

A small bathroom in Caernarfon usually costs £4,200–£7,900 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.

Is the water hard in Caernarfon?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Caernarfon?

Building control for Caernarfon 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 Caernarfon.

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.
