Working in Blyth

We work right across Blyth — NE23 and NE24 — and in neighbouring Bedlington and Ashington.

Homes in and around Blyth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Blyth bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. For a small Blyth bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Water across much of Northumberland is 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

Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
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

Decisions to make first

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Blyth: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Blyth?

A small bathroom in Blyth usually costs £4,000–£7,600 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover NE23 and NE24 in Blyth?

Yes. We cover all of Blyth, including NE23 and NE24, and nearby Bedlington, Ashington and Cramlington. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Blyth?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Blyth?

Building control for Blyth 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.
