Working in Bootle

We cover every part of Bootle, including L20, L21 and L22, and nearby Litherland (0.8 miles) and Wallasey (3.6 miles).

Homes in and around Bootle vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bootle bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. We measure small bathrooms in Bootle to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Small bathrooms in Bootle: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Bootle?

Is the water hard in Bootle?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Bootle?

Building control for Bootle 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.

What storage works in a small bathroom?

Storage that comes off the floor works well: a wall-hung vanity under the basin, a mirror cabinet above it and recessed niches in the shower wall. Boxing around the soil stack or cistern can often be rebuilt with a shelf on top. Avoid deep units that stop the door opening fully.
