Working in Bicester

We cover every part of Bicester, including OX6 and OX26, and nearby Oxford (11.1 miles) and Cowley (11.8 miles).

In Bicester, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure small bathrooms in Bicester to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If nobody in your Bicester home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Water across much of Oxfordshire is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show 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
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor

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.

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.

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.

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
