Working in Gosforth

We cover every part of Gosforth, including NE2, NE3 and NE7, and nearby Newcastle upon Tyne (1.8 miles) and Gateshead (2.7 miles).

Gosforth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a small Gosforth bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If nobody in your Gosforth home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Gosforth?

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
