Working in Gainsborough

In Gainsborough we cover DN21; we also cover Retford, 8.4 miles away, and Scunthorpe.

Gainsborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a small Gainsborough bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If nobody in your Gainsborough 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 Lincolnshire is 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

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
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover

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.

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

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.

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.
