Working in Bath

In Bath we cover BA1 and BA2; we also cover Keynsham, 6.4 miles away, and Trowbridge.

In a city the size of Bath, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Bath bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. If nobody in your Bath home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Supplies across most of Somerset are 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

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover

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.

Small bathrooms in Bath: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Bath?

A small bathroom in Bath usually costs £4,600–£8,700 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Bath?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Bath?

Building control for Bath 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.
