Working in Liverpool

In Liverpool we cover L1, L2, L3 and 15 more postcode districts; we also cover Birkenhead, 1.9 miles away, and Wallasey.

In a city the size of Liverpool, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For a small Liverpool 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 Liverpool home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

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

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Liverpool: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Liverpool?

A small bathroom in Liverpool usually costs £4,200–£8,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover L1 in Liverpool?

Yes. We cover all of Liverpool, including L1, L2, L3, L4 and 14 more postcode districts, and nearby Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Liverpool?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Liverpool?

Building control for Liverpool 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.
