Working in Ripon

We work right across Ripon — HG4 — and in neighbouring Harrogate and Northallerton.

Ripon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you live in a terrace or semi in Ripon with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. If the door of your Ripon bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

Water across much of North Yorkshire is 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.

What the job includes

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

Decisions to make first

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

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.

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.
