Working in Tynemouth

We work right across Tynemouth — NE29, NE30 and NE33 — and in neighbouring North Shields and South Shields.

Homes in and around Tynemouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Tynemouth bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. If nobody in your Tynemouth home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. 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

Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
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
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Tynemouth: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Tynemouth?

A small bathroom in Tynemouth usually costs £4,000–£7,600 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover NE29 in Tynemouth?

Yes. We cover all of Tynemouth, including NE29, NE30 and NE33, and nearby North Shields, South Shields and Whitley Bay. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Tynemouth?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Tynemouth?

Building control for Tynemouth 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.
