Working in Scunthorpe

As well as Scunthorpe itself (DN15, DN16 and DN17), we survey in Brough, Goole and Thorne.

Across a large town like Scunthorpe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We measure small bathrooms in Scunthorpe to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If you live in a terrace or semi in Scunthorpe with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Supplies across most of Lincolnshire are 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
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower

Decisions to make first

Storage

Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.

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.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Scunthorpe?

Building control for Scunthorpe 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?

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.
