Working in Wellington

We work right across Wellington — TF1 and TF5 — and in neighbouring Telford and Shrewsbury.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Wellington: free survey, written quote, one team. If the door of your Wellington bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. We measure small bathrooms in Wellington to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Water across much of Shropshire 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

Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Wellington?

Building control for Wellington 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.

How long does a small bathroom take?

Allow 5–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Wellington.

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.
