Working in Stafford

We work right across Stafford — ST16 and ST17 — and in neighbouring Rugeley and Cannock.

In Stafford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the door of your Stafford 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 Stafford 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

A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Stafford: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Stafford?

A small bathroom in Stafford usually costs £4,400–£8,300 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Stafford?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Stafford?

Building control for Stafford 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.

What storage works in a small bathroom?

Storage that comes off the floor works well: a wall-hung vanity under the basin, a mirror cabinet above it and recessed niches in the shower wall. Boxing around the soil stack or cistern can often be rebuilt with a shelf on top. Avoid deep units that stop the door opening fully.
