Which towns do we cover in North Yorkshire?
Supplies across most of North Yorkshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If the door of your York bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.
What the job includes
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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.
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.
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
A small bathroom refit in the same room does not need planning permission. The electrical zones matter more in a tight room because the lights and fan end up close to the shower: fittings above the bath or tray up to 2.25 m must be at least IPX4, and any socket other than a shaver supply unit must be at least 3 m from that zone, which in a small bathroom usually rules sockets out. Every circuit needs 30 mA RCD protection under BS 7671.
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.
