Working in Leatherhead

In Leatherhead we cover KT21 and KT22; we also cover Epsom, 3.6 miles away, and Cobham.

In Leatherhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Leatherhead bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. If you live in a terrace or semi in Leatherhead with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Water across much of Surrey is 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

Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin

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.

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Leatherhead: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Leatherhead?

Is the home survey in Leatherhead really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover KT21 and KT22 in Leatherhead?

Yes. We cover all of Leatherhead, including KT21 and KT22, and nearby Epsom, Cobham and Dorking. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
