Working in Borehamwood

We cover every part of Borehamwood, including WD6, and nearby Barnet (3.3 miles) and Bushey (3.6 miles).

In Borehamwood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a small Borehamwood 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 Borehamwood to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Most of Hertfordshire has very 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

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
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

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.

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.

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.

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.
