Working in Lincoln

In Lincoln we cover LN6; we also cover Gainsborough, 14.4 miles away, and Newark on Trent.

Lincoln is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If nobody in your Lincoln home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. For a small Lincoln bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Most of Lincolnshire 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

Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
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
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower

Decisions to make first

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.

WC type

A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.

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 Lincoln: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Lincoln?

A small bathroom in Lincoln usually costs £4,300–£8,200 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover LN6 in Lincoln?

Yes. We cover all of Lincoln, including LN6, and nearby Gainsborough, Newark on Trent and Sleaford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Lincoln?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Lincoln?

Building control for Lincoln 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.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
