Working in Gillingham

In Gillingham we cover ME7 and ME8; we also cover Chatham, 1.1 miles away, and Rochester.

Across a large town like Gillingham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the door of your Gillingham bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. If nobody in your Gillingham home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Water across much of Kent 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

Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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
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.

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.

Small bathrooms in Gillingham: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Gillingham?

A small bathroom in Gillingham 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.

Is the home survey in Gillingham really free?

Do you cover ME7 and ME8 in Gillingham?

Yes. We cover all of Gillingham, including ME7 and ME8, and nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
