Working in Shrewsbury

We cover every part of Shrewsbury, including SY1, SY2 and SY3, and nearby Wellington (9.9 miles) and Telford (12.9 miles).

Shrewsbury has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. 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
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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.

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.

Small bathrooms in Shrewsbury: questions

Do you cover SY1 in Shrewsbury?

Yes. We cover all of Shrewsbury, including SY1, SY2 and SY3, and nearby Wellington, Telford and Oswestry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
