Working in Longton

In Longton we cover ST3, ST4 and ST12; we also cover Stoke-on-Trent, 2.6 miles away, and Newcastle under Lyme.

Homes in and around Longton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a small Longton bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. We measure small bathrooms in Longton to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire are 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

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
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower

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.

Storage

Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.

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.
