Working in Newcastle under Lyme
We work right across Newcastle under Lyme — ST5 — and in neighbouring Stoke-on-Trent and Longton.
Newcastle under Lyme has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We measure small bathrooms in Newcastle under Lyme to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If the door of your Newcastle under Lyme bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.
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
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Decisions to make first
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.
Tiles and grout
Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.
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.
