Working in Fareham

In Fareham we cover PO14, PO15 and PO16; we also cover Gosport, 4.5 miles away, and Portsmouth.

Homes in and around Fareham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the door of your Fareham bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. For a small Fareham bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Most of Hampshire has 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

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
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

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.

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 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 Fareham: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Fareham?

A small bathroom in Fareham usually costs £5,000–£9,500 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.

Do you cover PO14 in Fareham?

Is the water hard in Fareham?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Fareham?

Building control for Fareham 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.

Can you fit a shower bath in a small bathroom?

Yes, a shower bath is one of the most useful fittings in a small bathroom. The wider end under the shower gives you more room to stand, and a curved or angled screen keeps the water in. Shower baths come in shorter lengths, so one can often replace a standard bath in the same position.
