Working in Gravesend

As well as Gravesend itself (DA11 and DA12), we survey in Swanscombe, Grays and Longfield.

Homes in and around Gravesend vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure small bathrooms in Gravesend to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If you live in a terrace or semi in Gravesend with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

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

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

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.

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Gravesend: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Gravesend?

A small bathroom in Gravesend usually costs £5,000–£9,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Gravesend?

Building control for Gravesend 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 Gravesend.

Is the home survey in Gravesend really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
